Swiss Red Wine Beef Escalope - Saftplätzli

Swiss Red Wine Beef Escalope - Saftplätzli

I have the pleasure of presenting you red wine braised beef escalope or beef scallops. Beef escalope is a cut of beef that is too tough when quickly fried but absolutely delicious slow braised and a little more affordable than your average steak. So this will take a nice long slow simmer to get tender but it requires very little actual cooking time.

Happy Canada Day to all the Canadians and Canadians at heart this July 1st! I wanted to do a little red and white chicken salad that you could make as a light BBQ lunch or a side dish for your festivities.

I thought of making this recipe when I saw the baked feta and cherry tomato recipe that became popular on Tik Tok. I thought about using fresh in-season strawberries instead.

As summer comes to a close, we need not despair! The first day of fall is all about harvest time and I personally want to take advantage of all those delicious, fresh and local veggies before we're reduced to eating bland tasting imported veggies and squash.

Well.. living with a food intolerance sucks. Lemmy tell you, I wish I could eat gluten/gliadin containing grains because that stuff is pretty delicious! I found out I was gluten-intolerant 2 years ago after suffering a myriad of physical and emotional pain I had no idea could be attributed to what I ate!

So I just came inside from a -30 Celcius Windchill day here in Ottawa, ON. Needless to say - my Mediterranean blood is crying for sun and heat. I mean, I'm not saying I need +30 or anything but... As a chef, it's hard to go 6 months without any fresh local produce.
