Baeckeoffe

An Alsatian casserole of meats, potatoes and aromatic vegetables.

Say it: BEK-off (approximate English pronunciation)

Baeckeoffe combines meat and sliced potatoes in a slowly baked casserole. Familiar versions use a mixture of meats with onions and a wine-based preparation. The long cooking allows the flavors to come together in one dish. Recipes and portions vary, so check both the meat selection and whether the restaurant serves it as an individual or sharing casserole.
