Seared Monkfish In Garlic And Black Olive Oil Dust With Potatoes Boulangère And Brussels Sprouts

Literally called “potatoes from the baker, ”pommes boulangère originated in France centuries ago when people in rural areas did not own ovens of their own. On their way to church, women would take the Sunday roast of lamb in a dish, surrounded with sliced onions and potatoes, to the baker to be cooked in his oven while the family prayed. Afterward, they picked it up and took it home for lunch, perfectly done. Beard acquired this version of the dish from Maurice Moore-Betty, a popular cookbook writer and teacher during the 1960s and ‘70s. – James Beard of The James Beard FoundationSince 1991, the creative masterminds of Le Basque have executed some of the most elaborate and groundbreaking event productions in South Florida and across the map.
