Hachis Parmentier and Garden Beans – French Fridays with Dorie Recipe

October 23, 2010 by susanelester

Hachis Parmentier 
This week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe is this wonderfully comforting meat pie topped with fluffy, cheesy mashed potatoes.  It’s easy to make and hits the spot on a cool autumn evening.
I opted for the Bonne Idee version and sauteed a finely diced carrot, 1/2 white onion and 2 ribs of celery with the garlic.  I added fresh parsley and lemon thyme from my garden.  The blend of flavors with the sausage and broth (of course, I used Penzeys Beef Soup Base) was rich and flavorful.
Garden Beans
We grew these colorful beans from seed!  I steamed them, sprinkled them with salt, and added a dollop of butter.  They were the perfect complement to this hearty dish.



Bon Appetit!

    Your hachis parmentier looks beautiful! I especially love the crusty top.

    Also, gorgeous beans. It is too bad the purple ones turn green; the purple is so pretty.

    Thanks, Kelly! I know – it was quite a surprise that the beans changed color, but they were really good!

    Thanks, Monica! I never know what to say when people ask what kind of food I feature on my blog – I just want to say “good, fresh stuff!”.

    Those beans are beautiful. I too am a huge fan of Penzey’s. I have not tried their broth yet. Great idea.

    Thanks, Nicole! It was fun watching them grow!

    We have the Penzeys Soup Bases in several flavors – they’re great to have on hand & taste so much better than canned broth!
