"From the window could see an arm of the Seine, the Place Saint-Michel, a barge-washing, all in a shadow blue , dotted part by the lights of the gas lamps that were lit " (from" Peter the Latvian "by George Simenon)
In the novels of Georges Simenon in which the protagonist is the police's Inspector Maigret based on the number 36, Quai des Orfèvres, on the Seine, Ile de la Cité in Paris.
It 's the place where they work Maigret and his team and the commissioner's office has a nice river view, a mythical cast iron stove, a port pipe and a bottle of cognac is always ready for special occasions or delicate interrogation.
In the waiting room of the office of the Commissioner, as stated in many novels, alternate characters more different "from old friends, the poor devils, by police informers, to any person who, for various reasons, ask for an interview. "
During the long hours devoted to conducting interrogations Maigret in these places, usually a boy's Brasserie Dauphine Port Commissioner's office a tray of beer (probably Simenon loved ones Belgium) and sandwiches.
La Brasserie is a restaurant in Dauphine Place Dauphine, just behind the Quai des Orfèvres. It is cited in many stories and it appears from the first novel ( Peter the Latvian ). This is usually the Commissioner brasserie meals or snacks, alone or accompanied by some labs.
The restaurant is actually a place that does not exist in that area because there is a Brasserie Dauphine. However, nearby is the Café Restaurant Aux Trois Marches , where Simenon often went.
today then I propose a simple recipe for a sandwich (in addition to ham and cheese) that the delicious tasting Commissioner (sandwiches among other things mentioned and described in the book "Trap Maigret").
Sandwich Commissioner Maigret:
Sandwich Commissioner Maigret:
Ingredients:
2 slices of sliced \u200b\u200bbread
a chicken leg
melted butter
Mix butter and mustard and spread the mixture on a slice of bread. Chicken fillet with care previously passed in the butter (in a pan) and place on slice of bread. Perform the same operations on the slice. Combine the two slices left for 10 minutes before tasting. A truly original sandwich for the Italians with a taste of the chicken well balanced with the stronger flavor of mustard. I think this sandwich goes well with a nice ice cold lager.
