The two kind and faithful regular visitors of this unpretentious travel diary have already known what an Alsatian “Winstub“ is.

Since Sergey and I are both curious gourmands
(and – let me affirm that proudly – good cooks too),
it’s time now to speak a little of Alsatian gastronomy.

In this Winstub they seem to be specialized in cooking Baeckeoffe one of the typical traditional Alsatian dishes.
Sergey wanted to get the recipe…
More or less it’s a kind of -delicious- stew.
Pieces of lamb, beef and pork meat, which have marinated in white wine,
with spices and vegetables and then are put in layers,
alternated with slices of potatoes,
covered with their marinade, into a peculiar casserole of terracotta,
with a cover carefully sealed with a thin piece of bread dough.
The casserole must put in oven and cook quietly for a long time…
at the end you take off the cover and enjoy your Baeckeoffe!
