Description:
Country France - is very well-known, traditional French recipe. It is essentially a type of beef stew prepared with cubed pieces of beef stewed in red wine and generally flavoured with garlic, onions, salt pork, and a bouquet garni, and garnished with pearl onions and mushrooms. A perfect dish for a cold winter's day, this classic is easy to prepare and can wait on the stove until your guests are ready to eat. What's more, you can make it a day ahead: it is even better reheated! |
