        Life in rural France - Food - Friends - Wine - Cheese - Comments

Welcome to French Food Focus. The name describes the intent of this blog. I'll focus on food and because I live in rural France the stress will be upon French food. Not that I will limit myself to food only. There are numerous posts concerning life in France, comments on life in general and, certainly, opinions about anything that strikes my fancy.
I welcome your comments and promise to publish all of them good & bad so long as they're not offensive, pornographic or rude. 
 
If you have some good recipes you'd like to share or if you want to rave about any great French restaurants this  is the place to do it. I hope you enjoy my ramblings about rural France!

Bean dip recipe

 

Bean & Brie dip from my friend Patti in Rhode Island. Using the brie is original and very appropriate!
    I'll be making this for sure.
 

The recipe for the bean dip is so easy.... Here it is.  Maybe some time
you can try it

1 cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (or you can use fresh beans
soaked and boiled)
2 cloves garlic
2 T fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup loosely packed) fresh parsley
Salt and Pepper
1/2 Tsp. Fresh Oregano
Brie Cheese
Pita Bread

Place beans, garlic, lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil and parsley in a
food processor or blender.  Pulse until mixture is coarsely chopped.
Season with salt & Pepper.
Cut each pita in half and then in 8 wedges.  Arrange on baking sheet.
Pour a small amount of olive oil on pita wedges.  Sprinkle with oregano,
salt & pepper - top with a generous slice of brie and baked until
melted. Top with bean mixture.

You can also use any kind bread slice.  Delicious.....
