barigoule

A traditional Provençal dish of artichokes braised with onions, garlic and carrots in a seasoned broth of wine and water. Originally the term barigoule referred to artichokes stuffed with barigoules, wild mushrooms also known as saffron milk cap or Lactarius deliciosus. Modern adaptations don't typically employ mushrooms, and the versions that do don't always include them as a filling. Then again, some "barigoule" preparations stuff the braised artichokes with other ingredients, such as spinach, carrots and cheese.
