I remember my grandmother used to make a delicious ragout, on the stove. It was simmering for hours, spreading a delicious smell all over the house.
She was living in a small tiny village in the heart of the Pyrenees, a mountain range making the border between Spain and France. She was growing her veggies and when she was cooking, all the delicious flavours were mixing in the pot and it was always a palate delight when we were having dinner with her.Her original recipe was calling for butter, carrots, potatoes and salt.
I make that dish often, but time after time I have made a few changes and we really like it with the following twists.
Ingredients :
- sweet potatoes
- yellow potatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- sesame oil ( 1 tablespoon)
- cassonade ( 1 tablespoon)
- balsamic vinegar ( 1 and a half tablespoon).
Step By Step :
1 / slice the opinion and chop the garlic, and put them in a pot with the cold butter. Put on the stove at medium heat until the onion becomes translucid.
2/ when the onion is translucid, add the vinegar and the cassonade, mix well
3/ cover and lower the heat
4/ when the onion is cooked, add the potatoes and stir well to cover them with butter and flavour
5/ add the sesame oil and the olive oil. stir well
6/ cover and slowly cook at low heat, stirring occasionally
7/ cook for at least an hour, stirring occasionally 8/ Enjoy !!
