Alourdi

Alourdi is a traditional dish originating from the island of Réunion, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including meat, vegetables, and spices. The dish is typically prepared with beef, but it can also be made with pork or chicken. The meat is slow-cooked with onions, garlic, and a blend of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. The stew is then thickened with a roux made from flour and water, and often includes tomatoes and potatoes. Alourdi is a staple in Réunionese cuisine and is often served with rice or bread. The dish is known for its rich, aromatic flavor and is a popular choice for family gatherings and special occasions.
