La Butte aux Cailles and its restaurant: "Les Cailloux"


If you walk one day on the side of the Butte aux Cailles and that you start to feel the hunger to come, I advise you a small halt at the restaurant “Les Cailloux”. It is a small Italian restaurant not too far from the place of the Butte aux Cailles (XIII), with a middle-class Bohemian environment… but that's why we like the Butte aux Cailles, isn't it? The decoration is sober although a little sinks, with lamps which do not finish any going down… The reception is cordial and the service is fast. I can simply advise it to you for a meal with friends.

Muffins with Parmesan and Parma ham

A receipt of Gordon Ramsay, again… It is the third receipt which we test wink and the third receipt is quite as delicious as the preceding ones… It is a book which I advise you to buy and use to impress your guests at the time of an "aperitif dinatoire", or for a "tête à tête"razz This time it is a receipt of muffins with Parmesan and Parma ham whose preparation is a little strange at the beginning but whose result is excellentwink. Without waiting more, the receipt:

Ingredients:

  • 85g butter not salted
  • 100g of flour
  • a pinch of salt
  • Parma ham 100g, (small pieces)
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 sage sheets
  • 40g Parmesan
  • 220ml of water
Preparation:

First of all, put the oven to 200°. During this time, make gently heat water with butter in a pan, to mix them eek … I know water and fat does not mix… But I had not warned you that this receipt is a little strange razz When butter is quite molten increase fire. During this time mix salt with the flour. When the mixture starts to boil, add the salt-flour mixture and to withdraw fire to it. Mix vigorously until obtaining a homogeneous paste. Let cool.

Add eggs little by little to the mixture in order to obtain a homogeneous and flexible paste.

Then add the Parmesan, sage and Parma ham.

On a plate going to the oven, place a greaseproof paper sheet and made small heaps with the preparation (not more than 3 cm in diameter). Let cook during 20 to 25 minutes until muffins take a a little gilded color. Eat them hot or cold. Enjoywink
