Featured as our recipe of the month in June 2009, this delectable recipe is from the wonderful Robert Ash Cookery School in Burgundy. We consider this one of our best cooking vacations. Try this tasty recipe at home or cook with Chef Robert himself on a culinary vacation in France!
The dish makes a great appetizer, but can also be served with a salad as a light lunch. Serve it with wines from Burgundy, of course!
