About the dish

Le frésinat is a traditional mountain dish from Tarn in France. The dish is made with a combination of pork, duck fat, potatoes, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. The meat is fried in duck fat until golden and crisp, and it's removed from the pan. The potatoes are then added to the pan and cooked with garlic and parsley, and the pork is again added to the pan until the garlic is just barely cooked. Le frésinat is especially popular during the winter, and it was traditionally prepared and served on the day after the pig slaughter as a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
