OK gents, this will cover a few dinners while we were away in France last month (already sounds a long time ago!). Our place is in the middle of nowhere and about 20km from the nearest restaurant so our MO is go out daytime, wander around, have lunch and a small carafe (variously called a pichet, or just a pot) 25cl of the local vin rose, then back to the house to cook.
So, Asian-style stir fried turkey (we always take a bunch of chilli and Asian spices so this is just made up), then fried rice with leftovers and a fried egg for breakfast the following day. Elia made an Indonesian chicken in chilli, coconut milk sauce which I finished on the BBQ, chicken Padang from her mum's hometown, then chicken in a white wine cream sauce and Ile de Re new potatoes, clean plates all round(!) Chicken in vin jaune version 1, with Puy lentils. Marinaded lamb chops in a sort of Greek style oil, lemon, garlic mix and just griddled. Elia's epic beef rendang - took 2 days to cook properly including getting a fresh coconut and extracting the milk herself. Mexican style beef, guacamole and salad, and finally a better attempt at coq au vin jaune.
