Classic French Pot-au-Feu

A traditional French stew originating from the 17th century, pot-au-feu is a hearty and comforting dish made with a variety of meats and vegetables. The name literally translates to 'pot on the fire,' which refers to the slow-cooked nature of the stew. This recipe is perfect for a cold winter's day and serves 4-6 people. The dish is served in two courses, with the broth and vegetables served first, followed by the meats and a side of mustard and pickles.
