• For the Daube:.
• Put the meat into a non-reactive bowl, add the olive oil and red wine and marinate at room temperature for about 4 hours, turning the meat around in the marinade several times.

• In a large bowl, mix the pork rind, salt pork pieces, carrots, onions, garlic, cepes, tomatoes and olives.
