Alsace: Full-Day Wine Tour & Tastings from Strasbourg
Discover the fine Rieslings of the Mittelbergheim region on a full-day tour of the Alsace Wine Route. Taste wines at 3 different wineries during the day followed by 2 ...
A three-meat and potato casserole, lamb, beef and pork marinated overnight in Riesling, layered with potatoes and onions and sealed under a lid of dough to bake slowly all day.
Baeckeoffe means baker's oven, and the name tells its story. Alsatian housewives would assemble the casserole on washing day, seal the dish with a strip of dough and drop it at the village baker's on the way to the laundry, collecting it cooked hours later from the residual heat of the bread oven. The overnight Riesling marinade and the slow, sealed cooking give it its character. It remains a winter winstub staple, ordered for the table and served straight from the terracotta pot.
