A typical Auvergnat complete and easy-to-make dish, this Pounti recipe is the one passed down through generations in the Escure family from Fontanges (Cantal)

Ingredients for 6 servings

a Pounti auvergnat for 6 people:

300 g of chopped country fat bacon
300 g of farm pork meat (shoulder) chopped
200 g of green chard or card leaves thinly sliced
1 large onion chopped with 1 handful of fresh parsley washed
1 pinch of thyme flowers
180 g of beautiful pitted prunes, soaked the day before in a bowl of tea or hot wine, drained and cut into large dice.
4 dl of whole milk
120 g of flour
4 organic or fresh farm eggs
salt and ground pepper

Step-by-step directions

1- In a large bowl mix together the chopped pork, chopped bacon, chopped onion, with parsley, thinly sliced chard or card leaves, a pinch of thyme flowers, salt and pepper and mix well by hand (clean hands) then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (flavor absorption).

2- Preheat the oven to 210°(th7).

3- In a mixing bowl pour the flour and make a small well in the middle (well) then incorporate the milk, salt and pepper, mix gently to avoid lumps and add the eggs beaten like an omelette.

4- Then mix the pork mixture with the flour mixture, blend them intimately so that you have only one consistency.

5- Pour it into a high dish (the casserole) then take your prune pieces and push them in with your thumb into the batter (this way you will have them throughout the Pounti).

6- Put in the oven for 10 minutes at 210°(th7) to sear the batter then lower to 170°(th6) for another 45 minutes. as usual test with the tip of a knife which should come out dry and hot.
Serve after waiting about ten minutes with a garden salad and a glass of good Côtes d'Auvergne or Saint-Pourçain for example.
