An Acadian one-pot beef, potato and carrot stew finished with green onion and parsley.
About Acadian Chiard
Chiard is a traditional Acadian one-pot dish whose composition varies by community and household. This profile follows The Kilted Chef's beef version, built around stewing beef, potatoes, carrots and onion.
Butter, beef and onion create a rich savoury base, while potato and carrot add earthy sweetness. Black pepper, green onion and parsley keep the flavour fresh and gently aromatic.
The finished chiard is thick and rustic rather than soupy. The potatoes begin to soften into the liquid around tender beef and carrots, with green herbs scattered through the pale, hearty stew.
