A tartine (tar-TEEN) is a fun-to-say French word that means bread that is spread with something — whether it’s a baguette smeared with butter and dipped in morning coffee, a round of goat cheese melted on a slice of country bread and served on a bed of greens or what we would call an open-faced sandwich.

The owners have since moved back to France :-( They also used to make a french hot dog which I will post soon! Ingredients:
for tartine |
1 smoked duck breast, thinly sliced |
4 slices of pain au levain (french country bread), lightly toasted |
8 dried figs (or plums) cut in half |
for dressing |
2 tbsp. red-wine vinegar |
sugar, to taste |
1 tsp. dijon mustard |
1 clove garlic, smashed |
4 tbsp. olive oil |
pinch of kosher salt |
freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
salad (or purchase an organic bagged mix) |
1 cup baby romaine leaves |
1 cup mâche |
1 cup oak leaf lettuce |
1 cup mizuna or baby spinach leaves |
Directions:
1. Combine the vinegar with the sugar, mustard and garlic in a small bowl and whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay the lightly toasted bread on a baking sheet. Top each slice of bread with 4-5 slices of smoked duck and 4 fig/plum halves. Place in oven and bake until fat from duck starts to render a crisp a little, 5-8 minutes.
3. Remove the garlic clove from the vinaigrette. Just before serving, toss the greens in a large bowl with just enough of the vinaigrette to lightly coat them (you may not need all of the vinaigrette).
4. Place salad on serving plate and place tartin next to it. Enjoy this for lunch or a light dinner :-)
