Though I am not usually a big fan or connaisseur of the cuisine from that area (usually too meaty for me). Quenelles are one of the rare preparations from that region I love. It&#8217;s usually vegetarian, except for chicken or fish quenelles, it&#8217;s versatile and super easy to prepare. In France most peole would buy already prepared quenelles in supermarkets, but it&#8217;s really simple to make them at home. You only need 150 flour, 2 eggs, 50g of butter, a bit of water, a bit of milk, salt and nutmeg. You can add mushroom, white fish, chicken breast etc&#8230; but personally I like them plain.&nbsp; In a pan set the water and the butter. Heat until the butter has melted. Add the milk and then the flour, and cook at low heat for 8min. Cool down a bit and add the eggs, the salt, the nutmeg, and stir well. You should obtain a smooth dought that doesn&#8217;t stick. If it sticks add a little more flour. Cut the dough in 8 pieces and form the quenelles as shown in the picture bel ow. Boil a large amount of water and poach the quenelles until they float. Now they are ready for any preparation you want! My favorite are the following: (1) oven grilled with vegetables: mushroom and cream, tomato sauce, this time I tried super moisted butternut squash slightly spicy pur\u00e9e&#8230; &nbsp;for the oven grill you need some moisture.<\/p>\n<p>(2) slice and grilled in a frypan with a bit of kosher salt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(3) in a soup of green leaves vegetables: lettuce, spinach, radish tops&#8230;&nbsp; more details in my next post!!!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img src=\"http:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/54c4c3bde4b03dfa2a325d98\/550e8df8e4b047e3d942a260\/583163005016e17508f50b84\/1479631623038\/FullSizeRender.jpg\" alt=\" Oven grilled quenelles covered in butternut squash pur\u00e9e \u00a0 \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oven grilled quenelles covered in butternut squash pur\u00e9e \u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quenelles are a French traditional recipe that comes from Lyon.
