cannasse

Cannasse is a traditional French dish originating from the Provence region, particularly in the Var department. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including lamb, pork, or beef, along with vegetables such as carrots, onions, and celery. The dish is typically slow-cooked in a large pot, allowing the flavors to meld together. Cannasse is often served with crusty bread to soak up the rich broth. The name "cannasse" is derived from the Provençal word "canassou," which means "pot" or "cauldron," reflecting the traditional cooking method used to prepare the dish. This stew is a staple in Provençal cuisine and is often enjoyed during family gatherings and festive occasions.
