Roboratif


   We may be in the summer, but we’re not always here to enjoy the local produce and if we’re tempted by a winter dish, then so be it… we’ll feast.




   All French person abroad will say that what they miss is most probably a good cheese. To each their region, and we like our ‘tommes’ but also very much the ‘reblochon’ that marries well with potatoes and cold cuts for a tartiflette or reblochonnade, though which is also excellent, as you can see above, with ‘crozets’ this strange small pasta crafted in Savoie.
   Cook the crozets and place them in a gratin dish with diced ham (I don’t much like lardon as the reblochon is already salted enough and that would add too much to the dish). Place the reblochon, which you have cut in half across the middle, on top. Cook for 15 minutes at 180 and make sure that the top has slightly browned towards the end. Serve with some green salad and a nice little Savoie wine. What a pleasure !
