Best Le Jardin Bistro Herring And Warm Potato Salad Recipes

AUSTRIAN-STYLE WARM POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, thyme sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the salt. Add enough cold water to cover completely. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes are just tender enough to be pierced easily with a skewer or the tip of a sharp knife, about 10 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes. While they are still hot, peel them with a small, sharp knife, protecting your hand from the heat with a folded kitchen towel. As each potato is peeled, cut it crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, letting the slices fall into a mixing bowl.
• Add to the hot potato slices the onion, remaining salt, sugar, pepper, vinegar, and oil. Stir gently but thoroughly with a large spoon to combine the ingredients.
• Before serving, heat the broth in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the potato salad and stir it gently just until the potatoes are thoroughly heated. Garnish with parsley or chives and serve immediately.

LE ROUGET

Steps:

• With a small knife, fillet the mullets from the back without breaking the belly. Remove all the bones and keep on the side. Peel and wash the carrots, wash the other vegetables carefully and shred them into slices using a mandolin. Season the shredded vegetables with the dressing and stuff them inside the mullets. Gently cook the open mullets under the grill. Sprinkle with Sauce Romesco and serve.
