[fran b]

I'm planning on making Boeuf Bourguignonne but not sure what to have along with it, any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

[Mamyalynne]

I like it with a lovely creamy mash or Potatoes Boulangeres.

.......and a green vegetable.

[DTCwordfan]

and a good Cotes du Rhone or Crozes Hermitage

[Jennykenny]

Definitely mash, with lashings of butter.

[ummmm]

Mash or duchess potatoes and veg

[sunny-dave]

I quite like something crunchy to go with the gravy - either roast parsnips or (whisper it) some chips.

Broccoli in cheese sauce is another favourite side-dish with stew/carbonnade type mains.

If you want greens, then purple sprouting broccoli is lovely.

[Samuraisan]

Baby new potatoes.

[MallyJ]

There are no hard and fast rules so have just what you like to eat with a stew.

Same as Ummm - Duchess potatoes are a bit of a faff but go really well. Green veg - avoid sprouts or green beans, otherwise almost anything. Haricots vert are good if not overcooked in the French way.

[Jackdaw33]

Haricots verts means green beans!!!

[jourdain2]

^^^^ Mutter..... 'avoid broad beans'.

^^^ I know, Jack, fingers obeying wrong bit of mind again!

I love this with mash and a cheesy broccoli and cauliflower dish.

Thank you so much for all your suggestions and the wine advice was really helpful too 'cos I wasn't too sure about that either xx

[DTCwordfan]

a full bodied Cahors would go down well as to wine.....

[mikey4444]

Crispy, roast potatoes, every time !

[EcclesCake]

I too would go with Duchesse or Boulangere with French beans.

[Orangy]

Buttery mash or crushed spuds with fine beans .... mmmmm

[hammerman]

Rice?

[mazie]

The creamy mash and beans but I would do a few roast parsnips as well.
