Cooking Add the garlic. Incorporate the meat and let it brown. Add the anchovies, olives, and anise-flavored spirit. Pour in the reserved marinade and the carrots, and let it simmer for 3 to 4 hours (the meat should melt in your mouth), remembering to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    Well done! I remembered the anchovies and the orange (which I replaced with a little orange blossom water), but I didn't know about the pastis... since I had added fennel to my herb bouquet, I didn't hesitate... (just like 5 cl of homemade rosemary alcohol...) In short, excellent!

    Thank you very much, it is so nice to be recognized for what we try to do and respect... apart from the suggestions I made only for those abstaining from alcohol. This dish is wonderful! Have a good day :)

    WELL DONE on your recipe!!! It is clear that you got it from true locals because "many chefs who want to interpret it" seem to ignore that "the traditional dish" must be made with anchovy fillets.
