Petits farcis is the Nicois dish of stuffed Provencal vegetables, tomatoes, courgettes, peppers, courgette flowers and onions baked together with a meat or vegetable stuffing in one large dish.
Petits farcis is the canonical Nicois Sunday lunch dish that puts the whole Provencal market in a single oven dish. La Merenda under Dominique Le Stanc and Acchiardo cook the family meat version, while Cave de la Tour runs the world petits farcis championship every autumn. The Cuisine Nissarde label specifies five vegetables and a stuffing of meat, breadcrumbs and herbs.
