Sponsored content – 2020 has been complicated, frustrating, and even at times dramatic, yet there is still a way for us to “take a break” from this negative spiral by meeting in small groups and delighting our delicate palates (be careful to respect the rules of social distancing, large gatherings are not recommended)
Take a look at Fabrique Délices and its specialties of confit and Jambon de Paris that remind us of France, the country that still rhymes with gastronomy in general, and with festive gastronomy in particular.
Created in 1985, the brand sells products made only with natural ingredients, without antibiotics, without gluten, without artificial ingredients, without MSG (glutamate).
And if you don’t eat meat, stir-fried vegetables enhanced with some truffle butter … that changes everything.
Since we’re talking about a festive meal, let’s talk about duck … Fabrique Délices offers duck breasts prepared like prosciutto, pâtés, rillettes, and of course duck confit. They even suggest a duck Parmentier recipe prepared with confit.
For those who prefer to watch the palmipeds in the wild rather than on their plate, consider pâtés with Black pepper or pork rillettes. Both are delicious.
Let’s not forget the new addition of the season: Fabrique Délices has just released a traditional Jambon de Paris cooked sous-vide at low temperature and seasoned with care. To be consumed year-round and without moderation.
In case you were lacking inspiration, here are the recipes for Croque Monsieur, elbow pasta with truffle butter and ham, and Cordon Bleu. Simple but tasty entrées that should elevate your daily cooking routine.
Fabrique Délices products, duck confit, Jambon de Paris and more… are widely available in the San Francisco bay or online.
