French Market Recipe 2026 23

Aligot de l’Auvergne

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 8 large potatoes

• 300g of Cantal from the French Market shop

• 2 large cloves of garlic

• 100g of French butter

• 150ml of milk

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20 – 25 minutes until soft

2. Remove skins and mash with the milk in pot until smooth

3. Peel the garlic cloves and crush

4. Add the butter, Cantal, garlic, salt and pepper to the mashed potatoes

5. Stir mixture in the pot with a wooden spoon, in a figure of 8, over a warm heat, for about 15 minutes, until you have a homogenous creamy mixture.

Serve immediately, ladling the mixture from a large wooden spoon, high above each bowl, top with  grilled, sliced sausages (or Boerewors). I recommend serving this heartwarming dish with a glass of Chateau de Brouilly Gamay wine available in our shop, or order online at www.Frenchmarket.co.za.
