Flemish stew,[1] known in Dutch as stoofvlees (pronounced [ˈstoːfleːs] Audio file "Nl-stoofvlees.ogg" not found) or stoverij and in French as carbon(n)ade flamande,[2][3] is a Flemish beef (or pork) and onion stew popular in Belgium, the Netherlands, Aosta Valley (Italy) and French Flanders. It is made with beer and mustard spread on bread; seasoning can include bay leaf, thyme, clove, and juniper berries. In the East and West Flanders provinces, often dried prunes will be added while stewing.
In French, a carbon(n)ade may also be a dish of grilled horse loin and certain beef stews cooked with red wine, such as beef bourguignon in the east of France.[4] but in English, carbonnade refers to the Belgian dish. The term Flemish stew, being a generic term, is sometimes used to refer to other Flemish dishes such as waterzooi or hochepot, in Dutch, the latter is called hutsepot.[5][6] Hutsepot refers to mixing (husselen) ingredients instead of mashing the ingredients into a stamppot (in Flemish stoemp).
As a staple of Belgian cuisine, recipes vary between regions and households. Variations include swapping bread for gingerbread or speculaas,[7] using extra condiments like Sirop de Liège,[8] and using different kinds of beer. Common beers for this dish include Oud Bruin (Old Brown Beer), Brune Abbey Beer and Flanders Red.[9] Just before serving, a small amount of cider or wine vinegar and either brown sugar or red currant jelly are sometimes added.[9][10]
Carbonade is often accompanied by French fries, boiled potatoes, or stoemp.[9][11] It is widely available in restaurants and friteries in Belgium and the Netherlands.
