Beef bourguignon is a traditional regional cuisine recipe, cooked in red Burgundy wine, with a garnish of mushrooms, small onions and bacon. There are many variations of accompaniment with, for example, potatoes, carrots, green beans, pasta...A traditional Sunday dish, it takes its name from the two Burgundian products that make it up: beef and red wine. Burgundy is traditionally renowned for its cattle breeding, particularly Charolais Charolais, and the reputation of the wines of its vineyard, in particular the wines of the Côte de Nuits vineyard and the Côte de Beaune vineyard.Beef bourguignon is an emblematic dish of Burgundian cuisine and its terroir.
Dice the bacon / lardons —rind and all— into small lardons. Cut the beef into large cubes.
Using a frying pan, seal the beef on all sides in 2 tbsp of olive oil until it starts to brown. Transfer the beef pieces as they brown to a large ovenproof pot. Sprinkle with sugar and caramelise. Add 50 g of butter and the flour. Cook the roux until it takes on a dark caramel colour.
Preheat the grill.
Peel and slice the carrots. Peel and chop the onions. Place the carrots and onions in the pot with the meat. Season with salt and pepper, then slide the casserole under the grill. Grill the meat and vegetables for 10 min. Moisten with the wine. Then add the garlic, beef stock cube, bouquet garni and 400 ml of water. Bring to a boil whilst stirring, then cover and leave to simmer 3 hours over low heat, stirring from time to time.
In the meantime, lightly fry the lardons over low heat in a fried pan with 50 g of butter. Clean the mushrooms and add them to the pan, along with the pearl onions. Add salt and pepper. Cover and cook 15 min, stirring frequently.
To serve, transfer the beef bourguignon to a serving dish and garnish with the mushrooms, pearl onions and lardons. Serve with potatoes or pasta.
Et voilà!!! Bon appétit!!
Cook’s tip: You could also add a large beef marrow-bone to the pot during cooking. Bone-marrow adds depth and richness to stews as it melts out of the bone during cooking. Serve with a full-bodied red wine.

A recipe with Italian accents....
TOMATO SAUCE
Let's start with the sauce: Peel the onion and garlic and chop them coarsely. Brown in a hot pot with a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the tomato, a glass of water. Bring to a boil and add all the ingredients except the parmesan. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
At the end of this time, remove the parsley, juniper berries, cloves, bay leaf and thyme sprig. Pour everything into a blender with the parmesan and mix until you obtain a smooth sauce. Pour the sauce into the pot and simmer covered over very low heat until the meatballs are made.
THE MEATBALLS
Peel the onion. Peel and remove the cloves of garlic. Chop the onion and garlic very finely.
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients (except olive oil) to obtain a homogeneous preparation and then shape meatballs.
In a frying pan, pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil and brown the meatballs on all sides. Place them on absorbent paper to remove excess olive oil. When all the meatballs are ready, place them in the pot with the tomato sauce. Increase the heat slightly and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning.
PASTA
Cook the fresh pasta in a large volume of boiling salted water for 3 minutes. Drain them immediately and rinse them.
Serving
In 4 plates, serve your pasta, meatballs and tomato sauce. Spread the basil leaves and parmesan shavings.

This time I'm going to present you a Mexican recipe and not a French one, but in France we love Mexican food.
Considered as a Mexican dish, Chili Con Carne is a typically American dish. This meat dish, cooked with dried chilies and spices, made its debut in San Antonio. The fame of the chili was largely due to the delicious and inexpensive food provided by a group of women known as "Chili Queens" in the squares of the city of San Antonio. A steaming bowl of chili con carne was served with a long slice of bread and a glass of water. Source: Trust & Food

For the stuffed vegetables, peel and thinly slice the onion.
Sauté in a frying pan with a little olive oil. Wash, trim and dice the courgette into mirepoix. Add the mirepoix (little cubes) to the pan with the onion and continue to cook for 5 min.
Wash and chop two tomatoes into mirepoix and add them to the pan. Cook a further 2 min and set aside.
Wash the peppers, cut in half widthways and remove the seeds. Place the top halves on a baking tray and roast them under a grill for 12 min. Then wrap them in a freezer bag while they are still hot. Once cooled, peel off the skins —it should come off easily— and dice into mirepoix.
Add them to the vegetable mixture set aside earlier. Wash and finely chop the basil, and add it to the mixture. Mix well. Add salt and pepper. Wash the remaining tomatoes, remove the tops and scoop out the pulp.
Place your tomatoes and the bottom halves of the peppers in a greased ovenproof dish. Stuff with the vegetable mixture. Bake in a fan oven for 40–50 min at 180°C. 10 min before the end of the cooking time, sprinkle the stuffed vegetables with parmesan. ( See picture on the folder "On the side")
Rub the rib of beef with olive oil. Sear on a plancha —over the sprigs of rosemary— turning from time to time until nicely browned all over.
