Method
French Onion Soup
Sauté sliced onions in a pan until golden brown.
Add minced garlic, thyme, and chives, and continue cooking briefly.
Stir in flour and cook for a minute to form a roux.
Gradually pour chicken bone broth, soy sauce, beef broth concentrate, and sherry vinegar into the pot, stirring constantly.
Simmer the soup until flavors meld, then serve in bowls with toasted baguette slices topped with grated grand cru cheese.
Chinese Chicken Salad
Toss cooked chicken pieces with soy glaze and lime juice in a bowl.
Add lettuce, shredded carrots, and sliced cucumbers, then toss again to coat evenly.
Serve the salad with a garnish of chopped green herbs and nuts if desired.
Butternut Squash Rosemary Gnocchi: Heat olive oil and butter in a pan, then add rosemary and sauté briefly.
Add butternut squash puree to the pan and stir to combine with the aromatics.
Add gnocchi, fresh spinach leaves, and crumbled cooked sausage, stirring until the gnocchi are heated through and the spinach is wilted.
Season as needed, then plate the gnocchi mixture.
Garnish each serving with chopped pecans and grated cheese.
Tips while you cook
- Stir constantly when adding liquids
- When pouring the broth, soy sauce, concentrate, and vinegar, keep stirring to prevent lumps.
- Toast baguette slices before adding cheese
- Toast the baguette slices first, then top with grated cheese for a crisp, melty finish.
- Wilt spinach just until it softens
- Stir the gnocchi mixture only until the spinach leaves are wilted, avoiding overcooking.
- Season the gnocchi mixture at the end
- Add any additional seasoning after the gnocchi and vegetables are heated through.
