French Comfort Food: Jardinière de légumes

With heure d'hiver starting and temperatures dropping, it's time to think about heart (and stomach) warming dishes.

I don't know if there is a French translation for "comfort food," but one of my family's favorites in the "what-to-eat-on-a-cold-Sunday" category is a jardinière de légumes.

This basic vegetable stew can be cooked up in a winter version, with regular vegetables, or in a spring edition, with légumes nouveaux, or baby vegetables.

I usually use Françoise Bernard's recipe -- a basic formula for a simple dish.

Here are two online recipes: one for fall and winter, and one for spring. Sorry I couldn't come up with one in English! Maybe a reader can...

Question du jour pour les lecteurs et lectrices francophones:

Connaissez-vous une traduction pour l'expression "comfort food?" Ou bien pourriez-vous en créer?
