Barefoot Shoes For Cold

crusted cod and lemon shortbread - Paris Café Pushkin





advantage when living in Paris is being able to easily find products the world or eat ethnic cuisines without having to fly. Just opened in Spring, a small tea room, little brother of the great Pushkin Cafe in Moscow where I had the chance to eat some years ago.





This is not an old historical café but a restaurant in Moscow in 1999, which creates on surfed the revival of the beautiful 18th Moscow after the fall of the Iron Curtain. It was in the 50s, an old cafe that Pushkin would have inspired his song for Gilbert Becaud Nathalie. The place is nice, the food is very good especially pelmeni, ravioli Russian but at prices that are worth those of Paris. I love Moscow. I went there 3 times, and the Red Square remains one of my favorite places in the world. I love this city full of atmosphere, too much sometimes, but that remains mysterious and forever inscribed in the history of a vast country, hard and passionate.
short, this lovely tea room offers cakes inspired by the Russian pastries, reinterpreted by Emmanuel Ryon.


Before talking about dessert, dessert and not very light, a fish dish which originates from the side of Scotland. A beautiful fillet of cod in shortbread crust and lemon. You know all the Shortbread, Scottish pure butter the biscuits, delicious with tea. They are very easy to make but due to time constraints, I preferred to buy most popular brand Walkers.





This recipe comes from the blog PhamFatale , to pun a bit ridiculous but offers recipes pretty cool (you'll understand the pun in going on the blog).




Fish shortbread crust and lemon
For two people
2 Songs white fish (cod, mahi mahi in the original recipe) 4
shortbread powdered
1 organic lemon

fennel seeds 1 pinch of paprika 2 small onions

4, 5 peppercorns salt Cubebe

2 kumquats

salt olive oil parsley


Prepare your fish by placing it in a baking dish, the pepper and sprinkle with parsley and chopped onions on both sides. Drizzle with olive oil. Place the cold. (You can do the day before or 3 / 4 hours before cooking).
Prepare the crust by reducing powder 4 shortbreads. Add to the powder, 1 pinch of paprika, crushed pepper Cubebe, kumquats reduced fine or mashed into small pieces (if you do not have it you can put a small piece of candied orange), a pinch of salt and grains fennel. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to create a coarse paste. Book also cool
A quarter of an hour before cooking, remove the fish fresh. Preheat oven to 200 ° C. Place your fish in a hot oven for 2 minutes. Pull out and rotate for another 2 minutes of cooking. After these 4 minutes, remove and panez with the shortbread dough. Put back in oven for 5 minutes extra cooking. When dough lightly browned, your dish is ready. Sprinkle with lemon zest very end before serving.


Serve with a salad or steamed potatoes.

Easy, right?





You have to season the batter because there must be a balance between sugar shortbread and fish. It must be well peppered, lightly spicy and tart with kumquat.

I also offer two Australian sites that I love.

What Katie ate : superb layout and beautiful photographic bias Gourmet Traveller
: full of ideas, full of info

In the coming days, I hope to offer another recipe before I left on vacation. I am going to China but that's another story ... In the meantime, I leave you with a Medevick cake, gingerbread, honey and buckwheat, very good but a bit heavy and cheesecake with a Russian (I have not tasted) and a turtleneck and blackcurrant poppy lightweight good.











PS: Lawrence, I hope I like it as much as Moscow and happy birthday in advance

Confit duck, Thai broth by Frenchie




Frenchie was created in 2009 by Gregory Marchand, one of the tables among the more popular Paris. But few people could have lunch there because the place is small and the reservation is made well in advance. For my part, I have not tried cooking Greg Marchand but you can read here and there account of a lunch at Frenchie.




I like to try recipes these young chefs who, after having traveled the world, without returning complex merge our local dishes with techniques learned during their travels. This recipe found on the site it at the table who had honored Gregory appealed to me because it corresponds perfectly to my specifications: fast and bluffing. One can classify the golds already in INRAtion for those who have followed my previous posts.




duck confit, Thai broth with ginger and lime
Serves 2

500 ml chicken stock (Ariake for me)
2 legs of duck confit
a bird pepper
2 sticks of lemongrass
2 lime leaves (kaffir lime at Blue Elephants)
1 piece of ginger
juice of 1 lime
1 tsp soup sauce fish sauce
coriander


Wash the peppers and slice it into very thin slices. Peel the lemongrass. Peel the ginger piece and slice it. Bring the broth to a boil with the lemongrass, chilli, lime leaves and ginger. Cook about 5 minutes. Warm confit in the fat and drain. Add the fish sauce to the broth. Place the candies in the middle of a shallow dish and pour the broth flavored around. Garnish with cilantro and serve with bean sprouts, for example you can drown in the broth.




The broth is excellent. You can prepare this soup with lemongrass Gagnaire that should work well too. I think the subtle citrus and lemongrass makes it more digestible fat from confit I fear enough.

Muffin Monday 22: 4-cereal, maple syrup and walnuts




The back is placed under the reign of the energy with which we Tiuscha proposes to pile on the theme of a Muffin Monday 22 full of pep and as healthy as possible.



I'm not sure my own children enjoy, the more eager of sugar and chocolate in the morning, but if parents can still taste it ...




Muffins 4 cereals, maple syrup and walnuts
For 9 large muffins
100 g buckwheat flour
100 g wheat flour (preferably semi-complete)
70 g wheat bran
70 g of oatmeal or oat bran
1 tablespoon teaspoon of cinnamon powder
1 small teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
1 package yeast ½
1 teaspoon baking soda *

2 large eggs 100 g of maple syrup
100 g buttermilk or yogurt
60 g fat (butter, oil or cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100 g of nuts (pecans or walnuts)
decoration: oatmeal, walnuts broken

Preheat oven at 180 ° C. In a large bowl, mix all the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Add the ginger, Butter your muffin tins if not using parchment paper.
In two other bowls, separate the yolks from the whites. Add the yolks with the maple syrup, the vanilla, buttermilk, melted butter and mix well. Beat the egg whites until stiff.
Add the egg yolk mixture to flour and mix well. Add the walnuts and mix again. Then add the egg whites. If dough is too thick when you add the whites, try to relax by first adding a tablespoon of white. This operation is a little tricky because you must keep the volume of egg whites.
Fill your molds with 3 / 4. Sprinkle with oatmeal for decoration and broken nuts if you have any left. Bake 25 minutes. Perfect for breakfast in the morning tonic.




* Why put baking soda? Some tips:
- Add 1 tablespoon to c. in the cooking water pulses: this will shorten the cooking time because the sodium bicarbonate is a softening agent that reacts with the water hardness, calcium-particular.
- Add 1 tablespoon to c. in the cabbage cooking water: this will avoid unpleasant odors.
- Add a pinch in the water for cooking beans: they retain their green color and
- He favors lifting the pasta: It is in the baking powder mixed with an acidic agent. Sodium bicarbonate may be used as baking powder when heated or when in contact with a substance prone acid (milk, yogurt, lemon juice). In this case, it releases carbon dioxide (CO2) in the form of small gas bubbles that make the pasta softer. Sodium bicarbonate which is widely used in food in the United States, is often in recipes for cookies and muffins to make them softer.

So your turn to reflect and make your copies before October 3.



Talking music too. At concerts planned by the end of the year, I will find pleasure again in Lloyd Cole concert in Paris and too rare to miss it, I Foals continues to extol the wonderful new album, LCD Soundsystem (second concert in 6 months, I look after myself is not too serious) will happen with the Jamaica Festival Inrocks.

Open your ears to the sexy voice of Lloyd. That was in 1985.
