1- Salt and pepper your tendrons then coat them in flour, removing the excess (by tapping them).
2- Place a large casserole dish that can go in the oven on the heat, add butter and a little oil. Once the mixture has taken on a nice color, place your tendrons and let them brown 5 minutes on each side.
3- Preheat your oven to 190° (th 6)
4- Remove your tendrons onto a serving plate and place your casserole back on the heat without burning. Add the tomatoes then the tomato paste, salt, pepper, let cook 5 minutes then add the thyme and bay leaf, orange juice and Pacherenc. Reduce slightly, and finally pour in the broth, taste at boiling point then return your tendrons and the released liquid and put everything covered in the oven.
5- Pour the carrots and onions into a casserole with cold water, a little salt and a knob of butter. Bring to a boil, cook them (blanch) for 3 minutes and drain.
6- Prepare your mushrooms and lardons.
7- After 45 minutes of cooking, add all the garnishes: carrots, onions, mushrooms and lardons; continue cooking in the oven for another 45 minutes.
