This is classic French Bistro fare and one of those long-cooking dishes that I love doing during the winter. It simmers while you get on with your life, You could actually let it cook for 4 - 5 hours and it would be fine - maybe even better.... And, it's enough for two meals. As we have lentils to start, shallots with the beef and onions with the potatoes.... No additional vegetable with this meal.
Total time: 30 minutes
We sautéed the walnuts and half of the ham in butter to enhance the flavor and add crunch to the salad. I use the tiny green French lentils - du Puy. You could use larger brown lentils but not the red ones, they get too mushy.

I finally discovered the secret to the rich, unctuous red wine sauces in Boeuf Bourguignon and Coq au Vin: cocoa. This will make enough for 2 meals. The original version calls for pearl onions but I normally have to buy a huge bag to get the few I want so I use shallots.. plus I like the taste better.

The caramelized onions add a bit of sweet and the horseradish adds a bit of hot, making these a great accompaniment to roast meats... with or without gravy!
