Carbonnade Flamande

The best chips (aka fries) in the world, the best beer, and maybe the best footballers? Belgium has a squad that could go all the way this year and this meat stew from the BBC has strong potential too.

A filling meal suitable for De Rode Duivels, this rich, beer-braised dish is best accompanied by a Belgian brew and watching Kevin De Bruyne complete a flashy pass up to Romelu Lukaku.
