Carbonnade (Beef and Onions Stewed in Beer)

From The Best Recipes in the World by Mark Bittman. “A simple beef stew that is good over buttered noodles or with plain boiled potatoes. Also works well with chunks of lamb shoulder or veal shoulder.”

Belgian Leek Tart & Aged Goat Cheese (Flamiche Aux Poireaux)

Cooking Life columnist Molly Wizenberg makes a particularly addictive version of this traditional Belgian dish with the addition of aged goat cheese. Bon Appetit Magazine, October 2008 edition. Leeks look like oversize scallions, and they are related to both onions and garlic, but their taste is softer and more subtle than any of them. In a word, they’re delicious. I love leeks but have to admit that I don’t cook them as often as I should. Haven’t included cooling times.
