Again, a look at the name of the recipe is a Rachael Ray dead giveaway. This was a really tasty dish, although slightly too spicy for comfort. Next time, go easier on the jalapeños!

The sandwich was poached and then shredded BBQ chicken on a hamburger bun. All went well except the chicken wasn't fully cooked after poaching for the suggested amount of time, so it was difficult to shred and had to be cooked longer during the BBQ step. The potato salad was made of red peppers, jalapeños, scallions and red potatoes and was awesome! It was really fresh-looking and -tasting.

This was a fantastic recipe for a weekend at home. It definitely took a good hour to prepare and perform the initial steps on the stovetop, but then it cooked in the oven for 2+ hours. How two(!) pounds of onions can cook away to nearly nothing is a miracle unto itself. The end result was served over egg noodles.

All of the ingredients ready to go, including a big bottle of Belgian beer!

First, the beef gets browned in the pot and removed

Two whole pounds of onions go into the pot with some tomato paste

All those onions eventually cook away to a much smaller volume

There you have it: Carbonnade à la Flamande
