FLEMISH STEW

For 6 persons

Preparation 40 minutes

Cooking time: 3 hours

Take the basket and go shopping:

1.5kg of braised beef

6 onions

20 g of sweet butter

3 tablespoons flour

3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar or a remnant of old wines that you will leave macerated a little

1 liter of lager

3 tablespoons brown vergeoise

2 bay leaves

4 branches of dried thyme

3 cloves

8 slices of gingerbread

salt pepper

new potatoes

2 bread sticks

If you know your butcher ask him to cut you the meat in thick slice otherwise it's up to you to do it.

In a casserole brown the meat in the melted butter and season, add the flour and onions. Stir all over low heat for 5 minutes. Then we add vinegar, beer, 50cl of water, vergeoise, thyme, bay leaf, cloves and 5 slices of gingerbread cut into pieces. Let it simmer for 2 hours 45 minutes.

During the cooking time cook the new small potatoes.

With this dish serve very cold beer.

I suggested you to take chopsticks, because in Galatea it is not saucer but I bet you that your guests will take bread to saucer. Be flattered that they become rude by sauteing your dish.

It's that you are a leader!
