Dark chocolate with cherries

[Alexandria Profile]

Cherries pair lovely with Sparkling Wine ( Champagne, Prosecco or Cava ) ..

[Suffs Profile]

Sparkling wines differ so much I couldnt make a generic pairing ... but a true brut-style champagne with buttery lobster ... that’s a match made in heaven

Confit de canard with pommes sarladaises

[WWordsworth Profile]

Duck and orange of course

[jeral Profile]

Pommes sarladaises with an egg sunny side up plonked atop a rocket, orange and feta cheese salad.

I accidentally discovered pommes sarladaises (except no duck fat for moi) by doing them t'other way round, i.e. microwaving spud coins in a drop of water and oil till soft then spread in a frying pan to crisp up the bottoms with a touch more oil, or, which is now a fave method, finished in same pan as a frying white fish fillet, or swordfish (slightly garlicky) steak.

Google shows orange with firm white fish recipes, which I didn't expect to find. Dunno if I fancy that, even with ginger/honey also, as I'd more associate that combo with salmon.

Feta cheese with WATERMELON in a summer starter.

Jeral, not using dusk fat means they are not pommes sarladaise you are making but rather more pommes Anna or even Panackerty - though to be authentic that would use beef dripping.
