FFWD Tartine de Viande des Grisons (Except Not Really)


I was so glad when I saw the recipe for this week was a tartine.  I needed something easy.  I was less glad when I looked up "Viande des Grisons" and realized it was beef, which I don't eat.  I debated using turkey instead, but that sounded boring, so I settled on lox.  I made walnut bread the same day for TWD, and thought it would be perfect with this.  Because there were already so many walnuts in the bread I skipped the walnuts on top (even though judging by other people's photos they would have been very pretty), but did use a walnut oil.  Served with cheese, patatas bravas (a CCC recipe I'll write-up soon), and sauteed greens, this was a fun Sunday night dinner.  Although I can't comment on the actual recipe, I appreciate the reminder of tartines.  We all need more "quick and easy" options this time of year.

  1. I agree that tartines are a quick and easy option for short, dark, busy days. Yours sounds really good. I thought the walnut breads I've seen on my feeds looks really good. Wish I had time to do more Baking with Julia projects.

  3. I love your interpretation! Using the walnut bread takes it to a whole new level. I really appreciate the reminder about tartines as well. I made them again for lunch today.

  5. I agree - the whole tartine concept is very useful this time of year. That walnut bread was very delicious, wasn't it?
