First time I saw this recipe and I really liked it. Finally I made it and it turned out to be super delicious! The distinct flavours of each ingredient were so amazing! I served it with pasta and everyone loved it.

I shared it with my brother as well, he's a professional chef, and I'll definitely be making it again soon! Thank you Sophie for this amazing recipe.

There are many other recipes that I loved on your page and will try them as well.

Cheers!

I served this dish to my daughter and husband last night along with the "marry me" story. I was so tickled when one after the other, dropped their forks and got on bended knee to propose.

I made it for myself last night, and, well, I'm not going to say what happened.

I haven’t tried the recipe yet, Sophie, and expect to. Proposal stories? Here’s mine. The day I planned to propose to my wife, Beth, I scheduled a hot air balloon ride! Not to be excluded from the gaiety, Mother Nature created a change of plans. As the prevailing wind direction had done an almost 180 change of direction the pilot, and a friend of mine, indicated a new launch site. Once aloft, unpredictable winds buffeted the balloon, requiring frequent tweaks. And more fuel. Finally, burning the last trace of fuel, the pilot said, “I’m going to set us down over there.” In an abandoned farmer’s field. Grown up with all sorts, and heights, of menacing weeds. In close proximity with a rough looking single-wide mobile home. Windows obscured by aluminum foil. He “encouraged” me to go knock on the door to let them know we were in the nearby field, that his chase team would be arriving shortly, and to ask their permission for driving across the field. From a road about 1/4 mile away. I so wished Bill would have shouldered that responsibility, but his short, slight stature posed a risk. For getting back on the road. To make a short story a few words longer, we survived somewhat unscathed. Wild blackberry canes, stinging nettle to name a few. As an astute person, Bill sensed engagement and had brought champagne. As a recovering alcoholic myself, I declined. He promptly switched the champagne for a sparkling NA product. Still sober after all these years. Thank you Sophie for your joie de vivre.

Gary, what a story🥰❤️ That proposal was definitely an adventure! Mother Nature really wanted to keep you on your toes. 😄 And I love that your friend was so thoughtful to have a non-alcoholic option ready. In our family, we don’t drink either, but on New Year's, we enjoy some NA champagne too! Wishing you and Beth many more years of happiness and adventures together! 😊🥰💖

Thanks for sharing, K! Mine and Dawn's love story began on August 28, 1978, but it took me until her 18th birthday July 10, 1979 to make my feelings known (I was 17). Of course, it took her a little while for her to come to her senses, and she finally proposed to me!

"Skimming off any juices that stick to the bottom ", is this an editing error? A translation issue? Or am I brain dead today? I watched your YouTube video and saw you skipped any Skimming step before adding the cream. I am not trying to criticize. I am an old guy who is easily derailed by missing a simple but crucial step. I once went to a neighbors house for a holiday dinner. When I got there I realized she had been drinking. At about an hour after the planned time for dinner she exclaimed "I don't know what's wrong with this turkey". At that point she realized she had not turned the oven on. I of course left and never returned. I blame her drinking for this, but I have made plenty of non-drinking mistakes myself. Small things matter.

Please forgive me for having fun with this comment, but what was the Skimming line about?

Perhaps a translation issue. I think what they are referring to is the process of deglazing by “scraping” any bits from the bottom of the pan once adding the broth

I respect your perspective, David. Everyone has their own way of cooking and eating, and I share recipes for those who enjoy them.

Perhaps think of it from the donor‘s perspective? Your influence could save animals and reduce the effect the animal agriculture mafia has on the climate and the local environment. Your audience would be healthier too.

Though I’ve seen similar recipes for this dish, this one is the most thorough, descriptive and inspiring. You make it seem as though I could not pass up trying this. Love that you included the pilaf along side it. Thank you.
