What does DAUBE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A French stew, usually of beef, slowly braised in red wine with vegetables and herbs.
A daube is cooked low and slow, often in a covered earthenware pot, so the meat becomes tender while absorbing the flavor of the wine, garlic, and herbs. The dish is closely associated with the Provence region of southern France, where it has long appeared on family tables and in traditional cookbooks. Some versions add olives, orange peel, or mushrooms, but the slow braise in wine remains the defining feature of a true daube.
