Blanquette de bœuf - French beef stew

Uploaded on : 2022-Oct-06

One of my favorite winter dishes is this beef stew. I got the recipe from my mother in law. The traditional French recipe is made with veal. I adapted it with beef instead, as it´s difficult to find nice veal for making a stew in my local shop. Lovely dish to make when you are staying at home in the warm kitchen while you see the snow outside the window.
