My poor non French people,
Sometimes I feel so sorry for you.
Is that true that American kids believe that French dressing is a sugary kind of sauce (Ketchup and Worcestershire in it, really ?) ?
Or that you really think that this awful yellow bottle of French's is actually French mustard ?
I tell you, the mustard climbs to my nose just thinking of it. (This is a French expression to explain incredible anger, something like what your green friend Hulk would express)
Now, let me show you how to enjoy REAL moutarde, on a summer night for example.
La tarte aux tomates et à la moutarde
Ingrédients
1 Pate Brisée Crust. Or any salty crust
6 tomatoes
1 pot of Moutarde. Amora or Maille, I find mine at Ralph's...
Thyme, Oregano, Fines herbes
This recipe was awfully trendy in the summer 1994 in Saint Laurent des eaux, Loir-et-Cher, France. (my French and perfect hometown btw)
I remember tasting it at my BFF Melanie's house, where her mom tried it for the first time.
Moutarde et tomates ! So simple !
It was magic, better than a pizza !
It was magic, better than a pizza !
Pre-cook the crust for 10 minutes in a 400° F heated oven
(use a foil of aluminum, spread some uncooked pasta on it, so the crust doesnt inflate)
Then dive into yellow spicy delight, and spread a thick layer of moutard onto the crust
Slice the tomatoes
Lay them tenderly on their confortable mustard bed
Spray with pepper, salt, and the herbs
Put in the oven (400° F)
15 minutes in the upper part of the oven, 15 minutes down
Until you see that...
Et voilà !
Enjoy the real moutarde... and spread the love.
