  • Traditional lamb and local white been stew from the village of Gavarnie in the French Pyrenees. Cooked "on location" under the towering Cirque de Gavarnie.
    This "Ragout d'Agneau" (lamb stew) uses the highly prized local Tarbais bean, the same bean used in the famous Cassoulet.
    The use of duck fat in the stew is optional, but will gain you extra points for authenticity! Don't forget to wash it down with the local wines of Madiran and Jurançon.
    I hope you are inspired to try this classic dish from the Pyrenees, cooked, as always, just like the locals!
    BON APPETIT DE GAVARNIE!

    INGREDIENTS (for 2 people)
    3 cloves (spice)
    1 bouquet garni (thyme and bay)
    1 litre water
    salt and pepper
    duck fat or olive oil
    a 1cm strip of salt-cured pork belly
    1/2 a tablespoon flour
    a large oignon
    300g tarbais beans (or any dried white bean)
    2 plump tomates
    2 carottes
    6 to 8 cloves of garlic
    500 g slices of neck or another stewing part of lamb.
    a couple of sprigs of parsley
    PROCEDURE
    The day before, soak the beans in twice their volume of water and leave overnight. Drain. Boil them in fresh water, with half an onion and the cloves, for an hour
    Brown the lamb pieces in the oil or fat. Remove.
    Add the sliced onions and diced carrots, season and sweat gently.
    When soft add the diced pork and continue to sweat.
    Add the chopped garlic (5 cloves) and cook a few minutes longer.
    Skin and finely chop the tomatoes (or simply grate them, discarding the skin.) Add to the pot and allow to reduce and thicken.
    Return the lamb, stir around for a minute, then add the water and the bouquet of herbs.
    Simmer for an hour then add the drained beans.
    Make a smooth paste with the flour and a little water. Mix this in.
    Cook for another 90 minutes. With just a minute to go, chop up the parsley and the remaining cloves of garlic and stir in.

    I have been revisiting some of your older videos and I had forgotten how much I liked this one. Kudos to you for making the climb on your bike loaded down with your gear! I know how that feels as I used to ride a lot myself a while back, however I only ever carried a Moka pot and a small camping cooker (because momma needs her java in the morning). It was nice to have you speaking directly to the camera as well. You have a good presence and should consider doing it more often…it’s a nice touch. 🙂
