Daube
Daube is a classic
French stew made with cubed
beef braised in
wine,
vegetables,
garlic, and
herbes de provence. Although most modern recipes call for red wine, a minority call for white wine, and the earliest recorded daube recipes call for white wine. Variations also call for
olives,
prunes, and flavoring with
duck fat,
vinegar,
brandy,
lavender,
nutmeg,
cinnamon,
cloves,
juniper berries, or
orange peel. For best flavor, it is cooked in several stages, and cooled for a day between each stage to allow the flavors to meld together. In the
Camargue area of France,
bulls killed in the
bull-fighting festivals are often used for daube.
