🇫🇷 France recipe

Pot-au-Feu

Pot-au-feu, literally 'pot on the fire,' is considered the foundational dish of French home cooking. This grand boiled dinner gently simmers various cuts of beef and marrow bones with root vegetables for hours, producing a magnificent clear broth served first as a soup, followed by the tender meat and vegetables as the main course.
