FURNACE POLICIES (4/6) - The deputy for Pyrénées-Atlantiques always evokes with emotion his attachment to the piperade-xingar. A dish he grew up with and which he takes wherever he can.


It is a French passion that politicians cannot escape.

Ministers, mayors, parliamentarians… Every day, they share their favorite cooking recipe with us, inspired by their local or family ties.

A story of terroir, friends and shared pleasures, far from the great Parisian restaurants.

Jean Lassalle is a voracious man.

The deputy for Pyrénées-Atlantiques loves good food as much as the vegetables from his country.

In order not to renounce any delicacy, he prefers to combine pleasures.

Or rather chain them.

From an early age, the Béarnais have become accustomed to successively tasting two local specialties: the piperade and the “xingar”.

The first is a mixture of tomatoes, peppers and eggs while the second evokes in the Basque language pork cut into thin strips.

For Jean Lassalle, this recipe is the memory of a childhood spent between the pigsty and his family's vegetable garden in Lourdios-Ichère, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
