Chef's Note
In Quebec, this traditional meatball stew is most often served in winter, particularly around the holiday season. Every family has its own recipe, made with beef, veal or pork or a combination of meats. In the past, a pig's foot was added to give the stew more flavor. This is a hearty dish that originated in the cookhouses of the logging camps.
