La Matouille de Madame Maillet

Another untranslatable title. The recipe is Georgette’s grandmother’s. There are several matouilles, all mixtures of vegetables that become shapeless and taste grand. In the Maurienne there is another matouille in which the vegetables are pureed by stirring with a wooden spatula with an addition of butter that even I, with all my love for butter, would consider unreasonable. This is messy food; for home fare only.
