Pouteille
A recipe from the Lot Valley, and more specifically from the village of La Canourgue, pouteille is a kind of beef stew marinated with pig’s trotters. This hearty dish used to be made by each family, then taken to the baker’s oven in an earthen “toupinou” before being served to guests. This ceremony of country gastronomy usually took place on Sundays.
Our tip: enjoy pouteille with potatoes, a glass of red wine and a slice of rye bread.
