Savory Beef and Onion Stew (Hachée)
"This is one of the favourite dishes in the region i live in.
I got the recipe from a site with authentic dutch recipes: http://www.hollandsepot.dordt.nl/index.htm
There is actually another ingredient in the original recipe, it's called ontbijtkoek and it's used to thicken the stew instead of using cornflour."

This makes a lot of tasty gravy that I served over mashed potatoes. I used 1 1/2 pounds of beef so DH would not ask, "where's the beef". Loved the flavor the bay leaves gives this meal. I might have used 1 too many dashes of worcestershire sauce but it was still good. Made for *ZWT4* 2008 game for the *Zingo Round* I'm on team *Tickling Tastebud Travellers* -
I probably used a generous 1/2 pound of beef, but other than that the recipe was followed & we had a very, very nice beef dish! Served this with thick slices of multigrain bread for a satisfying lunch! {Made & reviewed in the Zingo part of Zaar World Tour 4] -
This dish was so filling and had a wonderful flavor. Very hearty and had a heavenly aroma as it cooked. I made the recipe as written and wouldn't make any changes to it. Made for ZWT4 for the Tickling Tastebud Travellers.
