Why It Works

Petits Farcis Niçois

Provence & Côte D’azur — Niçoise & Coastal Specialties

Over-stuffing, which causes filling to spill and dome excessively during baking. Not pre-treating the vegetables appropriately (especially not parboiling onions or pre-roasting aubergines). Making the filling too meaty or heavy, overwhelming the vegetables. Serving hot from the oven when the flavours are muddled by heat. Using only one or two types of vegetable instead of the traditional five-vegetable spectrum.
