The Raïole, sweet onion jam from the Cevennes. Its typical name comes from the variety of onions used: the Raïolette.
Notice to lovers of sweet and sour: you will be won over by this jam, which is well balanced in sugar and very fragrant. Nothing better to sublimate all your meats (red and white), your foie-gras, or your cheese platters. At Cebenna, we also use it as a base for a sauce to be spread on vegetables.
In the heart of Lozère, Laurent Cabanel is a producer of sweet onions from the Cévennes, in Saint-André-de-Majencoules. The very steep relief of this region makes agriculture and water transport difficult. The onions are therefore cultivated on faïsses (terraces) that carve out the slopes of the mountains.
Conservation: Always eaten cold, can be kept for several months in the refrigerator after opening.
Ingredients: Sweet onions from the Cevennes (70%), red wine, white vinegar, blackcurrant syrup, sunflower oil, thyme, sugar, salt, pepper.
