Carbonade flamande

Carbonade flamande, also spelled carbonnade[1][2] or called à la flamande[3] (in Dutch stoverij or stoofvlees) is a Flemish beef (or pork) and onion stew popular in Belgium and French Flanders, made with beer, thyme, juniper berries, mustard and spiced bread. In French, a carbon(n)ade may also be a dish of grilled pork loin and certain beef stews cooked with red wine such as beef bourguignon in the east of France,[4] but in English, carbonnade is generally the Belgian dish. The dish is occasionally called Flemish stew, but that is a generic term, also used for waterzooi, hochepot, and so on.[5][6]
