French Panade
French Panade is a delicious and comforting traditional French warm dish, made entirely 100% plant-based! Bread soaked in a spiced vegetable broth, cooked with fresh vegetables until its soft texture blends with the thick, savory sauce. This dish is so special because it turns simple ingredients into a dish that I find hearty and very filling, without using any meat or animal products. Its soft savory taste with a subtle aroma of spices is perfect for enjoying in cool weather or as a healthy everyday dish!
