The Tour de France makes a brief stop in Italy today and Tuesday with a rest day in-between. Embrunis on in the Haute-Alps on the edge of the Provence region, and is know as the "little Nice of the Alps" And then they rode up 1500 meters in altitude to the ski resort Prato Nevoso in the Piedmont area of Italy.
So tonight I made pizza, but French pizza. What were you thinking I would make.... Pissaladiere to be exact. I have made the Martha Stewart recipe from her Baking book before, and it is a real treasure. This is one recipe that is in every French cookbook that I have and they are all the same. Onions, tomatoes, anchovies and olives all on a great crust that is flat and crispy.
Pissaladiere is a specialty of the Nice region of France and the flavors in the part are oh so Provencal....
make it tomorrow for dinner, you won't be sorry!
Bon Appetit....
