French Potato Salad Recipe

A little while back, I read an article highlighting Julia Child’s home in Provence and the fact that it was for sale. An interested buyer had come forth, and as I perused the photos of the home, I enviously wondered who would be the lucky person to live in that home. Fortunately, the buyer has decided to rent out the home to interested tourists, which means there’s a chance that one day, each of us might have the opportunity to stay in Julia’s beautiful, historic home. Wouldn’t that be a dream? Kind of like this French potato salad, which is a spin off of Julia Child’s and Jacques Pepin’s recipe. 

Sole Meunière: Fish pan-fried in a lemon-butter sauce. 10 minute meal! Recipe via MonPetitFour.com

Sole Meunière

While I’m usually prepared to slow-cook, braise, and marinade my meats and poultry, I can’t say the same for fish. I’ve learned that fresh, wild-caught fish is most delicious when it’s romanced with simple ingredients. This sole meunière is the perfect example of that. A light dredge in flour, then the fish is off to a pan of brown butter to become succulent and moist beyond belief. This easy fish recipe is then finished off with a drizzle of lemon butter sauce and a garnish of parsley.
