I made an Old French recipe CHEAP&EASY to MAKE it's a FIRST!
Preparing a three-course meal shows a dedication to providing a complete and enjoyable dining experience. It allows for a variety of flavors and dishes to be enjoyed in a well thought out sequence. I'm sure your guests will appreciate the effort and enjoy the meal you have prepared.
Join me on a trip down memory lane at Chateau de LALANDE where in order to make the first course, I have embraced the bountiful salad options from the local pantry garden. By adapting an old French recipe that traditionally features sorrel, we are able to showcase the abundance of fresh greens and produce available to us. Whether using sorrel or spinach, our three-course meal will honor the light and refreshing flavors that are synonymous with French cuisine, culinary tradition..
Although you may not be familiar with La Farce ( à l'oseille) Berrichonne, I hope you'll be intrigued by this old and classic recipe from the Berry region of France.
One great option for a cheap and easy starter recipe is a classic Berry Sorrel "Farce".
Simply start with putting a butter in a pan, let it melt and ad some Sorrel/Salade or Spinach leafs (rinsed and prepared). Cooking until the water comes out. To make Béchamel sauce, you need to start by putting butter, you can sprinkle the flour over the leafs and gradually add milk to create a creamy Béchamel sauce. Boil the eggs max 10minutes, as soon as they’re ready put them in cold water end pile them . You can cut in two ( optional) add them to the pan and let it cook a little longer. It’s ready!
This recipe is not only affordable, but it also requires minimal effort and ingredients!
For a magical starters for 8 guests you'll need:
Salade/Sorrel/Spinach leafs
1L Milk (if you're vegan try with coconut milk and oats-milk and forget the next ingrédient :))
8-16 Eggs
Butter (or sunflower butter)
Salt & Pepper
Nutmeg (if no allergies )
Serve Hot!
Give the recipe a try and send me a photo of the finished dish on my Instagram account

In the old days, they used escarole and the whole thing was baked. What was shown was a different take on this dish. Some like, some don't. Escarole was pricey!
Love your stove...wonderful cozy kitchen...my wife was enamored with Chateau Lalande before she passed...I always wanted to take her there. God bless and best wishes.

Reminds me of my Texas Grandma’s Southern Wilted Lettace. Wilt the lettace in bacon grease leaving bits of bacon in the pan, sprinkle with a little sugar salt and pepper can add boiled eggs to it. She also added chopped onion to the grease to cook with the bacon.

Vous pouvez essayer mais le choux blanc n’a pas les mêmes caractéristiques que les trois mentionnés ici. l’acidité joue un rôle important j’ai peur que cela va être fade . En revanche, pour la choucroute c est parfait aussi pour farcir , en crudité avec du persil…
Looks delicious!!

Like Paula Willett, the cooked lettuce salad reminded me of my Grandmother's Wilted Lettuce from NW Iowa. She poured hot bacon fat over the lettuce to wilt it somewhat. She dressed it with a cream and vinegar dressing. No boiled eggs. I was not particularly fond of it as a kid. LOL! Thanks Dana!

dana your driving me crazy here............. i am a cook and i see soooo much, boil the water and add a jig of vinegar, then add the eggs, then when eggs have finished cooking either add large amount of ice and cold water, or just cold water and let run for as long as you were cooking them for....... use a fork and not a ladle when sautéing leafy greens........ investing in tongs is a good idea also in the kitchen..............
