Le Montagnard

Pure HASHWith Paris’ first snow having finally fallen this week and the glacial temperatures keeping things strictly sub-zero along the Seine, we’ve decided to come back to the French part of our brunch Franco-Australien-Californien at Coutume. If you’re a fan of the wintertime flavor, warmth, and heft of a good tartiflette, then you’ll love this week’s hash: Le Montagnard.

We’re going to slather chunks of potatoes in a Reblochon cheese sauce, mix in bits of smokey bacon, and weave it all together with strings of caramelized onion. Of course you’ll get the requisite egg on top, making it part of a balanced hangover cure.

Breakfast burrito, vegetarian frittata, and all the other de rigueur brunch items like oeufs brouillés and Aussie-style home fries will be there, too.

Boerenkool Stamppot

It's Dutch! Isn't that weird?

Inspired by our last trip to Amsterdam, we’re going to get freaky deaky Dutch on our hash this weekend. Leafy green, smokey… it’s our brunchified take on boerenkool stamppot, a traditional Dutch dish involving potatoes, green cabbage (or kale) and smoked sausage. We’ll be spinning it with top-notch French ingredients and our Californian touch.

Most people have it with gravy. Some with applesauce. Some with vinegar. We’ll probably find a way to make a mutant beast out of it all, and top it with a fried egg. Mmm… Lekker!

Enter the Operation Dragon

Good Griffe! Enter the Operation DragonDid you know that Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon is called Operation Dragon in France? While many English-to-French movie title translations are worthy of a facepalm or two, we’re fans of a good cultural mish-mash. That’s why this week we’re celebrating the lunar New Year (gung hay fat choy, by the way) by making this week’s Hash of the Week Chinese style.

Potatoes? Chinese style? Huh?

Spuds are actually widely eaten in northern China these days, so we’re not going too far off the map by serving our hash in a tangy vinegar-chili sauce. For the meat part, we’ll stick to the Chinese New Year playbook and serve a version of “White Cut Chicken,” tender bits of ginger poached farm-raised chicken breast.

Your usual brunch favorites like our gut-busting breakfast burrito, sticky fresh-baked cinnamon rolls and the juicy honey grilled grapefruit will be there as well. You know where to go.
