Bourguignon

Bourguignon is a type of stew that is typically made with beef, although variations with other meats such as pork or lamb are not uncommon. The dish is named for the Burgundy region of France, where it is believed to have originated. There are many theories about the origins of bourguignon, but the most likely explanation is that it was created by peasant cooks who needed to make use of the less-desirable cuts of meat. Over time, the dish became more refined as it was adopted by the upper classes.

Bourguignon recipes typically call for the meat to be browned in fat, then cooked slowly in a wine-based broth with vegetables and seasoning. The dish is often served with potatoes or egg noodles, and it is not uncommon for it to be garnished with mushrooms, bacon, or even foie gras.

While the exact origins of bourguignon are unknown, the dish has been popular in France for centuries. In the 18th century, it was even mentioned in the cookbook of famed French chef Marie-Antoine Carême. Today, bourguignon remains a popular dish in France, and it has also gained popularity in other parts of the world.
