Stoverij met Frites · Ghent
Stoverij met frites is the canonical Ghent pub dish: beef slow-braised in Flemish dark beer with onion and bay leaf, darkened with a mustard-spread slice of bread on top, served over a cone of double-fried frites.
Stoverij is the Ghent dialect name for the Flemish beef-and-beer braise known elsewhere as carbonade flamande. The dish uses dark Flemish ales and is distinguished from the Bruges and Antwerp versions by the use of Ghent mustard from Tierenteyn-Verlent in the bread crust on top. Every brown cafe in Ghent serves it; the version at 't Klokhuys uses Gruut amber for the braise. The dish is at its most authentic when eaten in the Patershol or the Vrijdagmarkt brasseries.
