Whenever the meal is simple and quick, but rich, then there is Hum Hum somewhere in the kitchen!!! The following recipe is his creation....absolutely delicious!!



Ingredients: (for 4)
1 packet fresh Fettuccine
300g cheese (any variety which can be melted like Comté, Soft-ripened cheeses like Brie and Camembert (the rind will not melt), Parmigiano-Reggiano, Gouda, Muenster, Monterey Jack)
250 ml fresh cream
2 tbsp chopped parsley leaves
¼ tsp cumin powder
½ tsp nutmeg powder
Pepper, salt
500g smoked salmon
3 tbsp fresh coriander leaves for garnishing

Method:
Slice the salmon roughly, lengthwise.
Heat the all the cheese in a skillet and let it melt. Be gentle with the heat.

Stir gently until smooth and flowing. Add the cumin powder and nutmeg powder, salt only if necessary as the cheese always contains enough salt, some freshly ground pepper. Now pour the fresh cream and stir gently.

Cook the Fettuccine al dente in salted boiling water. Filter and serve hot with the cheese sauce and some salmon slices. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

A Jurançon or a Gaillac or a Fiefs Vendéens served at about 8-10°C with this dish will definitely make a difference. Bon Appétit!
