PORK FROM CEVENNES
If you do not know the Cévennes region, I encourage you once the borders are freed again, to visit it! This range of mountains are located on the south-eastern edge of the Massif Central and benefit from a Mediterranean influence. In 2011, agro-pastoralism (which concerns both agriculture and livestock), in the Causses and Cévennes was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO .
So this recipe is a mix of every product you might find : the chestnuts obviously, the pork, olives and mushrooms not to mention a few others…
