Answer 1

Filet Mignon aux Oignons

Ingredients for 4 people :
- 800 gr [3 lb] filet mignon of pork
- 4 brown onions
- 20 cl [7 fl oz] dry white wine
- 5 Tbspoons olive oil
- Salt & pepper

Side dish :
- 4 big potatoes
- 35 cl [12 oz] single cream
- 100 gr [4 oz] swiss cheese
- nutmeg, salt & pepper


Main course recipe :

All steps of side dish must be done before main course (baking time 1h15) ; start to prepare main course once the gratin is in the oven...

1- Peel and mince the onions ; cut the filet mignon in 3 to 4 sections.
2- In a non-stick stewpot, medium flame, heat the oil and brown the onions in for 15 minutes (turn regularly with a wooden spoon).
3- Brown the meat in the onions for 5 minutes with salt and pepper, then pour the wine, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 30 minutes ; turn from time to time.
4- Serve each of your guest cutting slices from the meat sections.

Side dish recipe :
A - Grate the swiss cheese. Peel the potatoes and cut them into
thin slices (with the slicer side of your grater or electric mixer) ; display them in an oven dish by layers, add salt and pepper
each time one layer is completed ; spread as well a pinch of grated nutmeg and some grated cheese every other layer. Once all slices
are displayed, pour the single cream in the dish ; it needs to cover exactly all potatoes ; complete with a little milk if it is not the case (leave the extra cream if you have too much).
B- Spread the left cheese (1/3) on top of the potatoes ; bake the whole in (pre-heated) oven at 200°C / 400°F for about 1h15. The gratin must be golden brown and the cream should be totally absorbed by the potatoes.

TRICK : verify that the potatoes are cooked by pricking them with the tip of a knife which must penetrate softly and easily.

TRICK : if you do not have a grater or electric mixer to slice the potatoes, use a peeler...

Answer 2

The easiest would be French Onion Soup: You can buy premade beef broth; about 5 sweet onions sliced thin, butter/oil (just a little to saute onions), 2 large low sodium/low fat beef broth, grated Gruyere cheese, loaf of French bread,toasted; add oil/butter to a large pot on medium heat, throw the onions in and turn down heat a bit, saute for about 10 minutes until onions are slightly caramelized(cook low and slow so onions don't burn), add beef broth and cook for about 20 minutes at medium heat, add salt and pepper to taste and a drop of sherry or wine; ladle soup into oven proof bowls/tureens, put a toasted slice of bread on top and sprinkle Gruyere liberally over top; put tureens on a cookie sheet and broil until cheese is brown and gooey(keep your eye on it or it will burn). Yummy and quick!

Answer 4

Leek soup served with fresh bread.

You make leek soup just like you would make potato soup... boil leeks, celery, onions, reduce... add milk... reduce... remove from heat and add herbs like thyme and parsley.... serve with oven hot bread- a small loaf for each member. Voila! Authentic French meal!
