CONCOURS DE RECETTES VÉGÉTARIENNES

Come and take part in a vegetarian recipe competition called "À table avec les légumineuses du Volvestre" (At the table with Volvestre pulses) during the European Volvestre Days!

Competition presided over by chef Florence Oustau.

See you on Sunday 20 September in Montesquieu-Volvestre.

At the heart of today's food and farming issues, pulses are becoming essential ingredients on our plates. Lentils, chickpeas, dried beans, broad beans, split peas... these humble seeds, cultivated for thousands of years, are enjoying a veritable renaissance.

Tasty, nutritious and affordable, pulses meet the expectations of today's consumers who are looking for a more plant-based, local and sustainable diet. Rich in protein, fibre and flavour, they offer an infinite range of culinary possibilities, from traditional cooking to the most innovative creations.

At the Journées Agricoles du Volvestre, being held from 18 to 20 September in Montesquieu-Volvestre, the Volvestre Community of Communes wants to showcase these local crops, encourage their use in cooking and showcase the creativity of all those involved in using these local treasures.
