Yields6 ServingsPrep Time15 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time25 mins

An emblematic dish of the Cantal region, pounti has its origins in trade with the Agen area. Indeed, the wood and wine produced in Auvergne were transported by boat down the Lot river. On the return trip, the boats came back to Cantal loaded with dried cod and prunes, a central ingredient of pounti. This sweet and savory recipe can be served both as an appetizer and as a main dish accompanied by a salad.
