Question

What are some popular French foods eaten in Monaco?

Answer 1

Monaco's cuisine is Mediterranean, featuring plenty of olive oil, fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, black olives, and anchovies. Fresh fish—including sea bass, red mullet, and daurade—are plentiful and widely eaten, as is the famous fish stew, bouillabaisse. The region is also known for its abundance of fresh vegetables. Salads are popular, as well as dishes such as ratatouille, a vegetable stew made from tomatoes, onions, peppers, and eggplant (called aubergine on the Mediterranean coast). Champagne has the status of a national beverage in Monaco. (A single glass can cost as much as $40 at a fashionable restaurant.)

Mediterranean Fresh Tomato and Onion Salad

Ingredients

6 to 8 fresh, ripe tomatoes, sliced cross-wise

1 sweet red onion (or ½ Spanish onion), sliced crosswise into thin rings

¼ cup olive oil

1 Tablespoon vinegar

1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed

½ cup fresh parsley, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

dash of ground cumin (optional)

dash of paprika (optional)

Directions:

Combine the tomato and onion slices in a wooden salad bowl or other serving bowl. Combine remaining ingredients to make a dressing.  Pour dressing over tomatoes and onions. Toss gently and serve.

We had a delicious Salad Nicious - but one might think that was from NIice.  My first snarky impluse was to answer "All of them."
