Briochettes with toasted coconut

This attempt to make a nice brioche was inspired by my early days in England, when me and my family were still wide-eyed about all the new things around us.

This stew recipe was created based on leftovers and a few cupboard items, including a last moment addition of cranberry sauce. I did not tell my boyfriend about this addition because he turns his nose up to sweet and sour combinations, but he enjoyed it, it was just the right amount to get rid of the acidity of the tomato. I am a true believer unplanned recipes often turn out the best for me.
