Everything is slowly simmered in a homemade tomato sauce, richly seasoned with garlic, parsley, Provençal herbs and regional spices, creating a unique depth of flavor.
Every element of the dish recalls a time when Provençal cuisine was built around robust flavors, slow-cooked dishes and the desire to elevate simple yet noble ingredients.
