Tomorrow is July 14. I'm pining for things French and the iron deficiency has me yearning for red meat. "Bastille Day" brings to mind family, picnics and national spirit. And it makes me hungry for a burger.
But how would we make a French burger? Oh, I feel a trip to Wegmans in my bones.
The ultimate French burger would have (play along)...
A brioche for the roll, with a perfectly shaped to fit the roll patty (not too thick not too thin) definitely rare... With some sort of creamy herby mustard sauce, a mild Camembert, hearty leaves of sorrel and maybe spinach or endive. I'm on the fence re: tomato or even scallions...and BIG steak fries with a side of au jus
My friends and my husband are encouraging me to make this bad boy, but it's a culinary creation that can't be rushed.
Mulling it about in my head. Brioche alone is a two day affair requiring 2 lbs of butter and a trip to the farm for eggs. Not to mention, finding the right Camembert to be strong but not too strong and the right meat to make a quality au jus...
My husband wants desperately to take me to Wegmans but the finances aren't proper for a splurge like this.
