"We had this with tiny new potatoes and peas for dinner on a weekend trip to Caen, and coaxed our hostess to give us her recipe. It was her stuffing and the wine that made the difference, and the atmosphere as well, I expect. Delicious.Prep. time and cooking time will depend on whether it was already boned or not and the weight of the joint. Worth it though, whatever."
