Lunch



"The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude." 
— Julia Child

Yesterday, I had lunch with my friend.  This is a left over salad.  Use up all ingredients in fridge, broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries, peppercorn goat cheese. mushrooms.  It doesn't take much to create something fabulous you just have to try!
We also ate the rest of the Onion soup and the Lasagne.  No food wasted.

French Onion Soup

Just finished a 12 hour shift.  However made French onion soup from scratch...with some help.

T's quick French Onion Soup

Chop 5 large onion
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoon butter
2 cup red wine
3 cups beef broth
baguette, sliced and toasted
Mozarella cheese grated
Parmesan Cheese
pepper

In a large pot add 3 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoon at medium heat...add chopped onion and sautee.  Once onions are transparent add red wine and bring to a boil.  Add beef broth.  Allow to simmer for 30 minutes.  Slice baguette thinly and toast in oven.  If you have French onion soup bowls place in oven at 350, empty to warm for 10 minutes.  Add soup to bowls, place toasted bread on top of soup and garnish with grated cheese.  Place in oven until cheese is melted, then broil until cheese is golden brown.  Allow to cool.
