Originally, millas was a poor man's dish, widespread in industrial corn production areas. It was done at the end of winter, during the manufacture of pork, goose or duck confit, because it was made in the cauldrons used for cooking the confits. This gluttony certainly arouses the nostalgia of our elders. Let's revisit his recipe for our festive meals!
