| Tartine Saint-Germain |
Our assignment this week in
French Fridays With Dorie was
Two Tartines From La Croix Rouge. La Croix Rouge is a cafe in Paris. According to Dorie it is a very busy cafe with people waiting to cram into the cafe. After making the Tartine Saint-Germain, I can see why. This tartine was super easy, quick, and super delicious. I would never have thought that a toasted slice of bread smeared with mayonnaise, then topped with a thinly sliced gherkin, two slices of roast beef, and seasoned with salt and pepper would be sooo good.
The second tartine used smoked salmon. I did not make this one being that the family member who loves smoked salmon was out-of-town. He has since returned so I will make this tartine for him soon.
As I said earlier, the Saint-Germain sandwich was so good, I made two and ate both of them. No regrets - just a happy stomach:)
This recipe can be found on pages 42-43 in
"Around My French Table."
Geraldine, very nice looking Tartine St. Germain - wasn´t this a nice French treat of a sandwich?!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
Your tartine looks wonderful! We thought these were very good - I did make both, to slice up and share. You're right: who would think that such simple ingredients would end up so great. Hope you enjoy the salmon too when you get to it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed how these were both simple and delicious! A win all around.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the saint-germaine so much!
ReplyDeleteThe simplicity of these fit into our life this week! Glad you enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteThe St Germain version was my favorite of the two, though they were both very good. Glad you enjoyed it too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I loved them both.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a happy-stomach dish this week! Your roast beef looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love that square white plate, your sandwich looks so delicious against the background. I enjoyed this simple little sandwich, so easy to do.
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying reading these " French Fridays With Dorie " posts - this looks great!
ReplyDeleteI made the Tartine Saint-Germain several days in a row for lunch - I loved it too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy that with something so easy and so delicious, we don't make tartines more often. I suspect we'll all do this recipe and then forgetaboutit. There are so many different toppings for a tartine and with a salad or bowl of soup it is a great lunch or even lite dinner. I hope you made the smoked salmon for your hubby. It's delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed this one. It was a nice reminder that sometimes the easiest recipes are the best.
ReplyDeleteBill loved his roast beef version...I should have made him give me a bite :) This was a fun week!
