Carbonnade of Beef

This is my tweaked version of a recipe taken from my very old and well worn copy of The Good Housekeeping Cookbook. This is said to be a very old and traditional recipe in Belgium. I think it has the best flavor when a dark beer is used. Also, the original recipe I have called for 8 large onions. I scaled the onions back a bit! Carbonnade of Beef is delicious served with cooked noodles, hot cooked rice or mashed potatoes.

Chicken with Belgian Endive (kip met witloof)

Belgian Endive is a slightly bitter vegetable, but delicious to those who acquire the taste. I realize it is rather expensive in the US, but “cheap as chips” here in Belgium !

Loin of Pork, Braised in Red Wine

From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everyone Eats Well in Belgian.” She describes it as her mother’s signature dish. Recommends: “This wonderful dish is tradtionally served with Recipe #341811. Recipe #418054 make it a feast.”
