Paupiettes De Porc – French Stuffed Pork Fillet Parcels

A wonderful and very elegant dinner party dish, and one that will impress your family and friends! These little parcels can be made ahead of time and frozen uncooked. In France you can buy these ready made in most supermarkets and butchers – but these are so easy to make, that I often make my own. You can also use turkey or veal escalopes – the sauce remains the same. Serve these little parcels with seasonal vegetables, gratin potatoes or rice and pasta.

Fragrant Steamed Mussels in Vermouth With Herbs and Shallots

I love Moules/Mussels, plus they are low in fat and high in minerals, making them very healthy! This is my own version of the Traditional French Moules Mariniere. The vermouth adds a complex and sweet taste to these mussels, and the tarragon compliments the vermouth perfectly. These mussels really are fragrant – the whole kitchen is perfumed with the sweet and aromatic smell whilst they are steaming! Serve with good bread and frites (French fries) for a delicious main meal or luncheon dish.
