Un Fruit (A Piece of Fruit)
Un Fruit (A Piece of Fruit) is French home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the fresh side. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1 apple (or a pear, banana, or orange)
How to cook it
- Choose a piece of ripe seasonal fruit, such as an apple, a pear, a banana, or an orange.
- Rinse it under cold water and pat it dry.
- Cut it into wedges or slices if you like, especially for a young child, or simply leave it whole.
- Eat it out of hand or with a small fork, the single most common way an ordinary French dinner actually ends.
