Today is cooking day.
I am using onions from Brittany ( from the town of Roscoff) they are very sweet and tasty and very special!
I only find them at Lidl. I have spent vacations in Roscoff
And we went to the museum of the Johnnies.
The Johnnies were men from this town who took the ferry (Brittany Ferries) from Roscoff to England their bikes loaded with onions.🧅 from Roscoff to Plymouth where they use to sell their onions.
This morning I used my Romertopf to cook chicken with onions and Brandy. There is no alcohol when it cooks only a very good taste!
I added braised endives.
This is the finished pie, chicken, onions, braised endives and Brandy 🥃
Today, we will have another storm and thunder, I think now we must get used to that kind of weather.
It will be a rainy week, but never mind plenty of to do inside!
Have a good week and thank you for visiting.
Hello Catherine,
RépondreSupprimerWe remember fondly our time in Normandy at Arromanches where we enjoyed the most amazing food. Clearly, you too can work wonders with your Roscoff onions. In Arromanches, Calvados was the alcohol of preference which went wonderfully well with anything containing apples. How we should love to be your dinner guests!!
Your food looks amazing as usual! I'd love to try it, and wish I could get those onions here.
RépondreSupprimerBeautiful photos today too!
RépondreSupprimerNooi geweten dat uien uit Roscoff zo bekend zijn.
Prachtig verhaal over de mannen die ze op de fiets naar Plymouth brachten,die plaats ken ik wel want mijn man meerden daar vaker aan met het schip toen hij bij de Koninklijke Marine dienden.
Ik gebruik vaak zoete uien,gister nog in paddenstoelenstoofpot.
Fijne dag,Ger
I also have Romertopf. I used to use it often, but lately it's just been decorating my shelf. I should get it again for cooking.
RépondreSupprimerThere is also a place in southern Hungary that is famous for its onions. When we were there, we bought some. It was very good.
How interesting to learn about the Johnnies who would go to England on bicycles to sell their onions. It would take some balancing to ride a bike with the weight of the onions. Your food looks so delicious!
RépondreSupprimerWe watched a documentary on TV about the Johnnies!
