Boles de picolat is a traditional Catalan dish in which meatballs and olives are simmered in a rich sauce. Other ingredients include carrots, garlic, cepes mushrooms, tomato purée, and olive oil. The meatballs are often prepared with a combination of pork and beef mince, flour, eggs, and onions.
They're fried in olive oil, then combined with the sauce. Once prepared, the dish is served with white beans, chickpeas, or rice on the side. It's important to note that the dish and some of the ingredients vary from restaurant to restaurant.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Encornets farcis is a French seafood dish consisting of squid stuffed with a variety of flavorful ingredients. The filling is a combination of breadcrumbs, milk, butter, carrots, celery, onions, and flavorings such as thyme and parsley. When served, stuffed squid are sometimes accompanied by a delicious sauce consisting of stock, shallots, and butter, flavored with bay leaves.
It is recommended to garnish the dish with remaining parsley to make it even more visually appealing than it already is.
This traditional bean- and meat-based dish from the southwest of France comes in three versions, and each version is a separate dish in its own right. The name cassoulet comes from the name of the dish used to prepare it, called a cassole.
The dish is braised for hours in this glazed terracotta casserole pot at a low temperature until the meat and beans are soft enough to melt in your mouth. Three cities claim to be home to the original recipe, and while they are eternally striving for the title of “best cassoulet”, all agree on one thing – this dish is held sacred in the Lauragais region.
