(from Feasting At Home by Sylvia Fontaine) After taking a virtual cheese class from Paris a few weeks ago, I was reminded of how much I miss some of my favourite French dishes.

We were recently asked for a recipe we posted back in 2017. It was our ode to Canadian storyteller Stuart McLean and his Vinyl Cafe Stories on CBC. In one of our favourite stories, Morley discovers a French-made cast iron “dutch oven” pot on the stovetop in the kitchen of her new home. For years she cooks some of her family’s favourite meals in this pot until one day, She forgets about the braised ribs in the oven and returns home to a pot charred beyond redemption. While she is devastated at first, she soon realizes that as time passes, everything gets ‘banged up” a bit and burns in a pot are where we live our lives. Yes we may apply uncommon sentiment to common things, but it’s these things that bring us comfort and joy. As Stuart wraps up the story he says "we all need something to hold onto when darkness comes" and these words couldn't strike more true these days. We developed the recipe using our Organic Fair Ultimate “Que dry spice rub and of course we cooked them in a French-made “dutch” oven (aka Le Creuset).
