Greetings from Brussels. Sitting in the middle of Grand Place, have my meal; Belgium trip.
A Belgian sampler platter of a typical Belgium staple; of meatball, beef stew and chicken stew, together with their famous beer.
The meatball is densely packed with meat and fats, making it flavourful in its own jus m. And yet “airy” to be broken apart. The tomato sauce isn’t anything special to scream about, light and just plain old tomato sauce.
The beef stew somehow reminds me of Mother, and how she always make her stew (could it be that she is Belgian? LOL). Red wine reduction, and with the beef simmered in hours, that the meat just breaks apart so easily! Comfy and delicious.
But my personal favourite is that creamy chicken stew, thick in consistency and bursting with mushroom and cream, this is definitely a winter comfort food. The chicken is simmered down that it’s so soft, that a lazy person (aka me) don’t have to chew much. Hidden in the sauce lies baby chicken balls, compact and feels like out Asian meatball you buy off the frozen shelves.
Overall, it’s certainly a delight.
