This is served everywhere you go in France & Belgium, particularly on the coast. However I most recently ate this at ‘La Grande Braderie’ in Lille where it is the specialty dish, it was fantastic! For the chips I have used my own recipe for chips as I a) prefer them and b) they are much healthier! Traditionally the ‘frites’ would be deep fried. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
In the Middle Ages, Flemish cities were at the crossroads of the Northern spice routes, and brewers and cooks both took advantage of exotic spices. According to Food & Wine, you’ll see that influence in this curried soup and in the Blanche de Bruges that is its ideal wheat beer accompaniment. MAKE AHEAD: The curried soup can be prepared through Step 1 and refrigerated overnight.
Another typical Belgian dish! It can be eaten in almost any restaurant during the mussel season. This absolutely has to be served with Belgian fries!
This is kind of a cross between Curried Thai Mussels and Belgian Mussels steamed in Witbier. When the recipe is done, serve it up in the pot with a ladle, traditionally, or thicken the sauce and toss it with pasta to add some carbs to the dish. This is designed for two, but can easily be multiplied for more people. Enjoy.
