Marmite Sarthoise is a traditional dish hailing from Sarthe. It's made with a combination of chicken (preferably Loué chicken), ham, rabbit, carrots, Paris mushrooms, turnips, cabbage, veal stock, crème fraîche, and a local white wine called Jasnières.
Everything except the vegetables is cooked in a pan, while the vegetables are steamed, deglazed with white wine, then mixed with cream. The dish was created in 1978 by the
Les 19 Bonnes Tables Sarthoises association, and their goal was to include the best local ingredients in one dish.
