The traditionnal Gard Cuisine is based on the olive oil. The various dishes are : "Gardianne de Taureau" (bull meat braised in red wine), "Petits Farcis" (stuffed tomatoes and summer squash), " Pain aux Olives et Lardons" (olive and bacon loaf), Confiture de Figues (fig jam) or Aioli.
-
Aioli is for example, a zesty garlic mayonnaise that's used as a sauce, most often for seafood and shellfish, although it's also great on green beans and potatoes. It's made by slowly whisking oil into egg yolks and garlic.
-
And, the Gard is a "wine country" with a largest choice of wines : "Côtes du Rhônes", "wines of Languedoc" and more... Good appetite !
