Ancestral recipes
Here are three great, emblematic recipes from Aubrac and Aveyron.
AUBRAC ALIGOT
Ingredients for 4 people
- 400 g of Aubrac fresh Tome
- 1 kg of potatoes
- 250 of Aubrac Crème fraîche
Preparation
Make a potato purée.
Add the Aubrac crème fraîche. Season to taste (salt, pepper, garlic, etc.).
When the purée is very hot, add slices of the Aubrac fresh Tome.
Stir over medium heat until the Tome completely melts.
Stretch and draw out into strings: the Aubrac aligot is ready.
Careful! The strings will break if they spend too much time on the heat.
Suggestions
Personalise your Aubrac aligot by adding nutmeg, meat juice or bacon cubes.
Enjoy as a single dish or with a roast, red meat or grilled sausage.
