🧑🍳 MY COOKING COURSE FOR BEGINNERS:
📖FRENCH CULINARY TERM GUIDE:
🧅🥕INGREDIENTS🥕🧅
Chipolatas (for 700 grams mixture):
500 grams lean pork shoulder meat
170 grams hard pork fat (fat back)
10 grams salt
2 grams black pepper ( freshly but coarsely grinded)
Merguez (for 1 kg mixture)
300 grams lean lamb meat
300 grams lean beef
250 grams lamb hard fat
10 mint leaves.
12 grams salt
20 grams harissa paste
2 grams black ((coarsely grinded)
2 garlic cloves ( pressed)
3 grams cumin powder
3 grams paprika powder (sweet)
2 grams cayenne pepper
8 grams Moroccan spices ( ras el Hanout)
60 ml olive oil
50 ml water
Tips: you can cook these in the oven but I had better results after the video using a frying pan. no added fat is necessary when pan frying. the lamb meatballs should be kept slighltyt undercooked to keep the juiciness. The pork meatballs should take 7 to 10 minutes to cook and must be cooked through.
Pair with mustard and harissa as dipping sauces .

Have you ever wondered why most of the Vinaigrettes in the grocery store are made with 10, 20, sometimes even almost 30 ingredients? I remember growing up in Provence watching my mother whipping vinaigrettes before every single dinner. She would mix in a giant bowl, delicious extra virgin olive oil, a robust aged vinegar (the flavor would depend on the main dish), sea salt and pepper and voila! I decided to do the same thing for my family and friends more than 20 years ago here in this beautiful country. And Provence Kitchen® was born. Stay tune for more articles and wonderful family recipes..
