Daube has been the Provencal Sunday dish since the 18th century, named for the daubière, the round-bellied earthenware pot it traditionally simmers in. The Marseille version adds orange peel and black olives. Le Bouchon Provencal, Chez Etienne and Chez Madie Les Galinettes all keep daube on the winter menu. The dish was historically served on Mondays as leftover Sunday lunch reheated, with the broth strained and reduced through reheating.
