Garbure recipe
Some history
Linguists are still trying to figure out where the name of this cabbage soup comes from. Does "garbure" come from the Spanish "garbias" (stew) or the Gascon "garburo"? One thing is sure, what was daily fare in Gascony now has its own World Championship! Every year, during the first weekend of September, in Oloron-Sainte-Marie in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, the "Garburade" attracts around thirty teams to create the best "garbure". Now you have everything you need to compete yourself!
