Daube de boeuf is the Nicois slow cooked beef stew in red wine with carrots, garlic, onion and a strip of orange peel, simmered for four to six hours until the meat falls apart.
Daube de boeuf is the Provencal slow cook the Nicois adopted, the country room dinner cooked in a deep earthen daubiere pot. Acchiardo cooks the canonical version on Rue Droite, Lou Balico on Avenue Saint Jean Baptiste another reliable address. The Cuisine Nissarde label specifies overnight marination of the meat in red wine before the slow cook.
