This salsa is a symphony of crisp pickles and zesty red onions and a burst of tangy freshness that transforms any meal into a flavor-packed experience.

Pair our salsa with grilled meats for a barbecue sensation, spoon it over german „Strammer Max“ for a zingy twist, or enjoy it as a refreshing side with chips or baguette. 

To preserve its crispiness and flavor, store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 3-4 days for optimal taste. Serve chilled, and let the delightful combination of pickles and red onions add a lively touch to your favorite dishes.

A Little Love Letter

You know those meals that taste like love in a bowl? This one’s it. Rich, slow-cooked beef in a bold red wine sauce paired with creamy mashed potatoes and sweet, soft pearl onions – it’s the ultimate cozy dinner for when you’re feeling fancy but also need that comforting omg-this-is-so-good moment. Whether it’s for a holiday dinner or just a random Tuesday when you’re feeling yourself, this dish is about to be your new fave.

Serve this beauty hot, right out of the pot. Pour that glossy, rich sauce over the creamiest mashed potatoes for a plate that’s basically edible therapy. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color, and don’t forget a slice of crusty bread to scoop up all the saucy goodness. Pair it with a bold glass of red wine because it’s a whole vibe. Perfect for cozy nights or impressing dinner guests.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or wine to keep it saucy and delish. Pro tip: it tastes even better the next day because flavors get all cozy overnight.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • dutch oven
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot
  • small pan with a lid
  • large pan
  • potato masher

Ingredients

Units Scale
BOEUF BOURGUIGNON
  • 1.5 kilograms beef brisket or beef shoulder
  • 3 white onions
  • 3 carrots
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 750 milliliter red wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 400 milliliter beef stock
  • 150 grams pancetta
  • 250 grams mushrooms
  • 1 tsp clarified butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 25 grams dark chocolate
  • 50 milliliter espresso
  • salt & pepper to taste
MASHED POTATOES
  • 2 kilograms potatoes
  • 500 milliliter full-fat milk
  • 150 grams butter
  • 150 grams creme fraiche
  • salt, pepper & nutmeg to taste
PEARL ONIONS
  • 400 grams pearl onions
  • 1 tsp clarified butter
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 fresh thyme sprig
  • 10 grams fresh parsley
  • 150 milliliter white wine
  • salt & pepper
BEURRE MANIÉ
  • 2 tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Peel the carrots and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Peel the onions and chop them into small pieces. Pat the beef dry, remove any silver skin if necessary, and cut it into roughly 4×4 cm pieces. Beef brisket or shoulder (also known as “falsches Filet” in Germany) works best. Cut the pancetta into strips. Peel the garlic cloves. They’ll be pressed into the pot later. Open the bottle of wine. Pick a Pinot Noir, Merlot, or Cabernet Sauvignon all work great. A bold, fruity red wine is ideal.
  2. Place the pancetta in a cold Dutch oven. Slowly heat it over medium heat and fry until crispy, allowing the fat to render out. Remove the pancetta and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the Dutch oven. If the bacon fat isn’t enough, add 1 tbsp of clarified butter and let it melt. Sear the beef in batches on both sides over high heat to create a nice crust. Remove the beef from the pot. Add the carrots, onions, and tomato paste to the Dutch oven. Press the garlic through a garlic press into the pot and stir everything well. Sauté for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle 1 tbsp of flour over the vegetables and mix well.
  3. Pour in about 1/4 of the red wine, stir, and let it reduce over medium heat without a lid until almost no liquid remains (about 5 minutes). The wine and flour should form a creamy texture with the veggies. Return the seared beef to the pot, pour in the remaining wine and the beef stock, and stir well. Place thyme sprigs and bay leaves on top, cover, and bring to a boil. Then reduce to low heat and simmer with the lid on for 2.5-3 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, peel the pearl onions carefully without cutting through them. Set them aside in a bowl. Next brush the mushrooms clean with a pastry brush or peel them directly, then quarter them. Set them aside as well. Next to prepare the mashed potatoes peel and quarter them. Fill a large pot with water, add the potatoes and 1 tsp salt and boil until soft. Drain the water and keep the potatoes covered. Heat a small pan over medium heat, melt 1 tsp of clarified butter, and sauté the pearl onions for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown. Deglaze with white wine, add thyme, parsley, and a bay leaf on top, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes until the wine has mostly evaporated and the onions are soft. Remove the herbs before serving and keep the onions warm on the stove. Season with salt & pepper.
  5. To thicken the Boeuf Bourguignon sauce, prepare a beurre manié. Mix 2 tbsp of softened butter with 2 tbsp of flour into a creamy paste. Add it gradually to the stew about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time to thicken the sauce. Stir the beurre manié into the Dutch oven in portions and bring everything to a quick boil.
  6. After about 1.5 hours of simmering, sauté the quartered mushrooms in a large pan with 1 tsp of clarified butter until golden brown. While they’re cooking, prepare an espresso. Add the mushrooms, pancetta, dark chocolate, and espresso to the Dutch oven. Stir well and let it simmer for at least another 30 minutes.
  7. For the mashed potatoes, warm milk and butter in a small pot until the butter has melted. Add the mixture to the potatoes, grate in some nutmeg, and mash everything into a chunky texture. For a smoother mash, pass the potatoes through a sieve or food mill. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in crème fraîche. To serve, spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates, top with Boeuf Bourguignon, and add some pearl onions. Garnish with fresh chives.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer (or stand mixer)
  • Cling film
  • Cheese grater
  • Baking tin 20×20 cm (8×8 inch)

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 250 grams butter
  • 100 grams sugar
  • 350 grams sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 150 grams cherry jam

Instructions

  1. Line a baking tin with baking paper.
  2. Place the soft (not liquid) butter, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer for approx. 3 minutes until creamy. Add the flour and mix until the butter is coated in flour. Then knead with your hands until smooth.
  3. Wrap the dough in a layer of cling film and shape into a square. Place the dough in the freezer for approx. 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Now grate half the dough into flakes using a cheese grater. Put the other half back in the freezer.
  5. Spread the flakes evenly in a baking dish. Use very little pressure to spread the flakes in the tin. DO NOT press them down. Now spread the cherry jam evenly over the flakes.
  6. Now take the second half of the dough out of the freezer and grate it into flakes using the cheese grater and spread it evenly over the jam. Again, only spread the flakes with very light fingers and do not press down.
  7. Bake for approx. 15 to 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F) or until the shortbread is light golden but not brown. It is best to take them out of the oven when they are lightly golden, as they will bake a little longer anyway. Leave the shortbreads to cool and cut into strips.
