Text of the page (random words):
try food and olney seems to agree many people insist on refinements that are to me without interest and not at all in keeping with the basic nature of a dish whose origins are simple and unpretentious in the french menu cookbook olney fits ratatouille into his simple summer luncheon à la provençal as the first course in a menu that also includes a blanquette of beef tripe with basil steamed potatoes tossed green salad cheeses and cherries with fresh almonds his words guided our thoughts the afternoon we decided to host an impromptu park picnic the crown jewel of the evening would be none other than our vermillion le creuset pot brimming over with cold stew i made a few other simple dishes that evening including a red leaf lettuce salad studded with chopped flat beans red onion corn carrots fennel and a flurry of chopped herbs a dish of glowing egg like new potatoes with skins as delicate as tissue paper were halved and coated in salted butter and avocado oil dusted heavily with smoked paprika and finished with crinklings of tarragon and finally we popped open a jar of my dilly beans addictive in their uncanny similarity to potato chips but most importantly an awesome picnic is a group effort and other treats materialized throughout the night including a cluster of wine bottles halved radishes fresh cucumbers charcuterie a multitude of cheeses and heirloom tomatoes sadly our days for picnics here in montreal are numbered i pulled on two sweaters this morning before making breakfast and my sturdy denim jacket wasn t quite enough protection on my bike last night troubling to say the least and all the more reason to make a point to whip up a batch of ratatouille right away before the opportunity eludes us yet another year and all of these gorgeous vegetables disappear from the markets a few notes about olney s recipe he suggests preserving the leftovers in sterilized glass jars a wonderful idea he stresses the importance of a ratatouille well laced with thyme and garlic and impeccable olive oil and finally he includes one fussy detail in which he advises briefly separating the cooked vegetables from its liquid the juice can then reduce separately into a thick syrup and is then re added to the pot i found this totally unnecessary for what is purportedly such a humble one pot dish and the results i promise are still spectacular richard olney s ratatouille froide adapted 1 pound white onions 2 3 cup olive oil 4 large firm well ripened tomatoes we used romas 1 pound sweet peppers a mixture of red yellow and green 1 pound eggplant he recommends the small violet elongated variety we love the tiny lavender hued bulbous specimens from birri at the jean talon marche 1 pound baby zucchini the smallest available i don t think you can find these are the markets anymore so any size would be fine 6 cloves garlic salt pinch of cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon thyme leaves a bouquet of parsley and 1 bay leaf handful of finely chopped parsley of course we used basil instead freshly ground pepper peel and chop onions and saute in 1 3 cup olive oil do not let them brown mince garlic and add to pot peel and seed tomatoes we score tomatoes with an x and then blanch for 30 seconds for easy peeling dice zucchini peppers and eggplant into 1 inch square pieces in a second pan saute each separate vegetable until golden brown and set aside i did this in a couple of batches because there were so many vegetables we also used a good amount of goose fat in the saute process worth it promise you don t want the vegetables to steam we let them get nice and golden brown add cooked peppers and eggplant to the pot with onion and garlic add tomatoes let simmer stirring gently add the thyme cayenne parsley and bay leaf bring to a boil and then reduce to a faint simmer and cover with lid cook for two hours at least i think i went even longer you ll find that as the vegetables simmer and cook they release even more liquid it s incredible to watch and defies logic instead of drying up in the pot the vegetables just get juicier stickier and more syrupy oh and the smell will be incredible finish with the remaining olive oil freshly torn basil and pepper stirring carefully to avoid crushing the vegetables let cool then serve with crusty bread and a big glass of wine i found the lirac red of château mont redon to be a wonderful charming pairing and come on did you really think i wouldn t mention this 3 comments posted in celebration dinner food outdoors party tagged eating outside lirac red of château mont redon montreal summer nero d avola picnic ratatouille richard olney salad daze posted on september 16 2011 4 comments i think i have a new favorite salad it s true love sadly our relationship can t last forever isn t she a beauty alas our relationship is temporary because the ingredients are 90 seasonal our tomatoes are practically gone and this is the last week for corn don t even get me started about fresh cannellini beans and those tender green beans sigh some mornings i wake up with wicked cravings recently it was salade niçoise after a quick run to the market i had absolutely every fresh ingredient i needed the freshly shelled cannellini beans were the crowning jewel so pretty i could hardly bear to throw away the bean s papery creamy husks the wannabe stylist in me loved assembling this gargantuan salad i thought about organizing all of the colors in a rainbow sequence but then thought better of it i was missing the color blue anyway adam surprised me with a few treats of his own too including this platter of ripe figs i ve learned so much about proper fruit from him like a fig that isn t jammy oozy sticky and basically sugary mush isn t worth eating i ve learned to steer clear of all of those firm tasteless expensive figs goodbye he had another surprise too wild quebec blackberries smaller than my pinkie fingernail and so sweet and tender i haven t had this much fun eating blackberries since i lived in portland and ate them everyday the finest kind of salad in my opinion is just thoughtful assembly i once had a mindblowing salade niçoise in a small bistro in paris but honestly when you have ingredients this splendid and this fresh nothing else will ever compare nothing else will ever come close ingredients to consider in varying degrees of proportion when putting together your own salade niçoise sliced avocado that would be my california upbringing rearing its head saying put avocado in every salad you make ever sliced tomatoes fresh raw corn summery green beans blanched briefly diced red onion carrots and celery a fistful of freshly shelled cannellini beans boiled until tender soft boiled eggs note i hate hard boiled eggs but that would be the more traditional option new potatoes boiled for 20 minutes then cut into discs halved olives we used kalamata can tuna packed in oil some kind of tender lettuce i spotted some handsome heads of boston lettuce at birri recently parsley to garnish lemon vinaigrette to dress i m really trying to enjoy my salad days while i can and honestly this was one of the best lunches i ve had in along time my salad days when i was green in judgment cold in blood 4 comments posted in food fruits home lunch summer vegetables tagged lunch salade niçoise a pair of tarts posted on september 14 2011 2 comments this was my first year at montreal s oysterfest and man was it good plenty of montreal s culinary heavy hitters were there cafe myriade olive gourmando dna osteria venti kaizen and my friend michelle the lovely pastry chef at laloux she orchestrated the most remarkable dessert a three bite ontario peach tartlet with a hidden sour cherry tucked underneath topped with a spoonful of dangerous bourbon cream it reminded me in the best way possible of those tiny plastic cups of fruit cocktail that you got at snack time as a small child syrupy sticky wholesome and glowing as her assistant i was allowed to devour as many tarts as i wished i think i ate about six the day began early 7am for chef marek and 12pm for me her tableside helper around noon we were still at laloux and without a car how were we going to transport 200 delicate still warm tarts to old montreal michelle always the resourceful one called a cab we sat through the bumpy ride our laps cradling baking sheets lined with tarts the trunk filled with tubs of pastry cream on ice pretty sure our driver thought we were crazy things picked up around 2pm when we were handed our first sandwich dna s massive clownish prochetta sandwich it was bigger than our dinner plate heaving with waves of fat and dripping with aoili the pork belly was tender and slathered with a fragrant herbal spread and capers i managed a few bites and passed it on the others didn t fare much better everyone gawked and put away a couple of bites but in the end i don t think we made much of a dent in the sandwich the other highlight was venti s magnificent timbale which was coated in one of the freshest tasting tomato sauces i ve ever had michelle and i were in awe after stuffing ourselves silly we finally set up our table at 4pm okay so maybe our little booth wasn t as flashy as some of the others and maybe we completely forgot about signage until halfway through when michelle brilliantly thought to write the name of her dessert on the back of a plate the queries of who are you and what is this just got to be too much oh yeah and for the first 20 minutes we didn t even have napkins plates or forks people still bought them though they were that good and after two hours they were all gone every single one i guess i shouldn t have eaten six of them after all next year i have to get the dep in on the action 2 comments posted in

when we woke up to super sunny skies and a flirty breeze bartek and i rode our bikes to marche jean talon and tried to stuff 50lbs of new potatoes into his bike baskets an insane prospect and i spent the afternoon outside chopping potatoes and prepping beans on our picnic tables out back while drinking about a million glasses of calimocho it was totally perfect though i wouldn t recommend frosting two massive red velvet cakes while slightly buzzed and then serving people dinner for four hours straight afterward we hung out on the terrace and ate our lion s share of pork chops i ll be really sad
