Bouilli du Québec

Bouilli is a classic Québécois dish that is similar to the famous French pot-au-feu, made with inexpensive cuts of beef and salt pork, with vegetables such as carrots, turnips, cabbage, and potatoes. The combination of those ingredients is slowly simmered in a herb-flavored broth until the meat is tender and the broth becomes full of flavor. The name of the dish literally means boiled. Although there is no single recipe for the dish and every family prepares it differently, most people like to place a slice of bread with mustard at the bottom of the serving bowl, adding a slight acidity to this hearty dish.
