FFwD: (Mini) Mushroom and Shallot Quiche(s)

Oh, look. It's another quiche for French Fridays with Dorie, which actually just fine with me as quiche was something I used to make all the time, but really, for the past 10 years or so I've made it hardly at all. It's a lot of fun to rediscover it with the recipes in Around …

Roast Halibut in Red Bell Pepper Broth (Bacalao en Caldo de Pimientos Asados)

Originally, this dish called for cod, which sounds just as delicious, but I happened to have some halibut. So that's what I used.

FFwD: Chicken Basquaise

French Fridays with Dorie this week was a peppery-oniony-delightful pot of tastiness, otherwise known as Chicken Basquaise. Lots of bell peppers, onions, a few tomatoes, garlic, chicken and some crusty bread to finish it off. Oh and some red wine. I don't have much else to say about this week's recipe other than that we …
