We created a comforting dish thanks to La Belle-Mère cheese from Fromagerie Médard, winner of the Caseus Bronze 2024. This semi-firm cheese with beef broth and caramel aromas melts wonderfully. Use it in this recipe that includes beer-braised pork shoulder, along with a topping of sautéed kale and cheesy potato purée. Given that this cheese is voluminous in height, slice it thick to cover each casserole dish prior to browning. It’s the perfect dish to warm up to at the beginning of the colder months.

Note from Ricardo

The scotch ale can be replaced with another type of amber beer with moderate bitterness.

La Belle-Mère cheese is ideal for this dish. It enhances the flavour of the potato purée with its notes of roasted almonds and honey. It is also perfect for melting.

For a more refined presentation, use a pastry bag fitted with a ½-inch (1 cm) plain or star tip to add the potato purée to the dish.
