Winter and French food tend to go together. There are plenty of rich dishes that will keep you warm when the temps drop. They are tasty and flavorful, full of protein and taste. The will warm you from head to toe - de la tete aux pieds.
If you want instant French food , then head to Lidl I love their potato gratins which are miniature pies full of cream and potatoes.
These are perfect , good on their own or with squash as I made them for a kind of Franco-American dinner.
This is a nice vegetarian option however if you want true French fire serve then with a hearty cassoulet. This is a mix of various meats and beans originating in the south of France, namely Toulouse. It can be made in a slow cooker. You can add fowl such as chicken or duck along with slabs of bacon and sausages. Use two kinds of pork for a flavorful dish, There beans too , namely both cannellini and navy along with onions carrots and celery. Garlic is a must along with parsley and cloves. Another hot dish is pot au feu. Thisis a two part meal, with the broth cooked first and then the meats. it does take five hours on the whole, but a perfect dish to make on a snowy day. You can use beef shanks along with vegetables. It's served with a sauce of mustard and sour cream.
A wintry night in means good French food .it should be hot and satisfying. Make either pot au feu or cassoulet for a tasty dinner.
