    Bonsoir Emmanuelle
    Je me lance dans votre recette
    Mais je m’inquiète après 1h de cuisson la viande semble assez dure
    Dîner prévu vers 21h.. je continue une cuisson douce?
    Bonne soirée

      Charlotte, je suis navrée de voir votre message si tardivement… Oui c’est préférable de cuire doucement pour éviter justement une viande trop dure. J’espère que le dîner s’est bien passé…
