要在这个丰富的,质朴的法国炖菜周围建立一个很棒的冬季菜单,然后以清爽的沙拉开始和结束
卡苏莱特(Cassoulet)是法国西南部的丰盛农民炖菜,长期以来引起了热门辩论。您应该使用哪种豆子?您应该使用鸭子还是鹅?有许多版本,每个版本都有其热情的游击队员。But rather than being a pure expression of one style, this cassoulet takes elements from them all: It’s a melding of great flavors that come from assembling duck confit, beans, lamb stew, sausage and pork, and cooking them all together, slowly and gently.
狂热的辣椒本身几乎是一顿饭,因此,在创建菜单时,您想保持起动器和甜点清新,例如这些简单的飞盘和水果沙拉。菜单确实需要一些提前计划,但是不需要精心设计的技术。因此,如果您坚持策略并使用时间表,那真的很容易。大卡苏莱特(Cassoulet)值得等待,所以这是在寒冷的夜晚 - 新年前夕的特殊晚餐聚会的完美之处,也许是吗?

Drink Suggestions
试着的红黑水果和香料的味道。For the salad, choose a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, whose bright grapefruit and green-herb notes would be great with the zesty flavors of orange and sherry vinaigrette. Try a simple Entre-deux-Mers like Château Bonnet ($9, and made by Jean-Pierre’s in-laws), a Sancerre from Rossignol ($16), or Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc from Sonoma ($9). To match the cassoulet’s intensity, go for a hearty red with plenty of personality, dark fruit flavors, and earthy, spicy notes. The 1999 Le Mistral from Joseph Phelps ($27), a Châteauneuf-du-Pape style blend, would be perfect. Or try a Côtes-du-Rhône Villages (I like Domaine de l’Oratoire St. Martin, $12). For a splurge, try Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, a lush Grenache blend from the Southern Rhone ($38; the 1999 vintage drinks well at this early stage if you decant it). When it comes to dessert, the wine always needs to be as sweet as or sweeter than what’s on the plate. Jean-Pierre has wisely chosen a light finish to this meal, so I’d follow his lead with something light in the glass. Pick a wine with crisp acidity, medium sweetness, light body, and little or no oak, like Rivetti “La Spinetta” Moscati d’Asti, a fragrant sparkler from Italy ($16).
