 Before I started blogging I had never heard of clafoutis, let alone tasted one. But I kept seeing gorgeous examples of this incredibly versatile and yet so easy dish around the internet quite often until I decided it was time to try it for myself. The first clafoutis I mad was of the traditional kind....

Ooooh now this looks good – I love the idea of apples and walnuts. [Reply] 
Trissa - November 5, 2009 - 21:30
Agree 100% with you on this! I think “go with the season”. I’ve never thought of using apples for this dessert – I would have to say its a stroke of genius! [Reply]

I’ve been seeing lots of clafoutis variations lately, and this one sounds fantastic! Apple with cinnamon is the best. [Reply]

Ah — fresh walnuts. Did you crack those all yourself for this dish? [Reply] 
Esi - November 6, 2009 - 01:21
Did you crack all those walnuts yourself? This is a beautiful clafoutis. I don’t think I have ever made one either. [Reply]

I am SO glad I’m going to the Monthly Mingle because I so want some of this wonderful clafoutis! I must try this! Cinnamon is heavenly and apple & cinnamon divine! What a wonderful dessert! [Reply] 
Ben - November 6, 2009 - 14:49
I have learned so much about food while blogging, too. For example, I didn’t know what clafoutis were until a couple of months ago. Yours look so delicious, especially with the addition of those fresh walnuts. Oh, and pumpkin is a fruit [Reply] 
Sophie - November 6, 2009 - 17:21
MMMMMMMMMM,…your apple walnut clafoutis looks so scrumptious, Simone! A perfect fall recipe!! [Reply]

 There is something so comforting about typical fall food. It’s the smell, the colors but above all the taste that make it so. When I read about the three ingredients for the Royal Foodie Joust I just had to participate. It’s my first time in the Joust and I am not a star in making...

oh my…this looks really good and your photos are stunning… [Reply]
FoodJunkie - October 18, 2009 - 17:48
This looks AMAZING! I love the little fondue dish you used for serving the stew. It is so cute! The joust is great fun, but I haven’t participated for quite a while. I always find one of the ingredients difficult or not appetizing, but this month was different. I think I still have time, no? [Reply]  Simone (junglefrog) Reply: You still have until november 1st Jo, so you should be able to make something fun! I agree that the ingredients where really good this month… I even think they would be great to combine in a focaccia… [Reply] 
Valérie - October 18, 2009 - 19:10
Yum! As a Belgian, I can only approve of beer stew (although I sometimes use Irish beer, rather than Belgian…). This is exactly the kind of food that makes me look forward to fall and winter, even though I’m very sensitive to the cold: stews, soups, braised dishes, rich flavours… I’ve never tried cooking with pumkin either, but your pictures make it look delicious! [Reply] 
Hannah - October 18, 2009 - 20:10
So I’m pretending that the beef is tempeh for my own sake, and imagining how good that would taste. The pictures are certainly tempting- Everything looks so warm, homey, and very comforting! [Reply]
Sophie - October 18, 2009 - 20:18
MMMMMMMM,…ypu never used pumpkin before,…this stew looks so hearty & so delicious!! Just real comfort food,… [Reply]
nina - October 18, 2009 - 21:42
Good luck with the Joust.I think this is a wonderful combination of ingredients ….all credit to Tom of course……he=he!!!! [Reply] 
Peter G - October 19, 2009 - 03:05
I love most kinds of stews Simone and this one is fantastic! Great ingredients that are perfectly suited to one another. Stunning pics as well! [Reply]
Ben - October 19, 2009 - 16:12
Oh that looks great! And the Guinness in the background… oh yummy! Great combination. I love to cook with pumpkin and hopefully I’ll be able to participate in the Joust this month. [Reply] 
Jenn AKA The Leftover Queen - October 19, 2009 - 16:50
Wow, this looks so good! The perfect thing for these cooler days! Welcome to the Joust! Great photos too! [Reply] 
Olga - October 19, 2009 - 22:38
I don’t think I’ve ever made a stew. That beef looks so tender! [Reply] 
Angela@spinachtiger - October 20, 2009 - 05:51
I think you stand a good chance of winning with this one. Clever and looks homey and comforting. I’ve been thinking and thinking and still I’ve come up with nothing yet. The “sugar” with beer threw me. [Reply] 
Bron - October 20, 2009 - 11:36
Mmm that looks delicious and perfectly comforting Simone and I simply adore the serving bowl you chose, lovely! [Reply]
Jamie - October 20, 2009 - 18:32
Ok, you win! This is wonderful and the flavors are gorgeous together. Yum! And yes this is so Autumny. I love pumpkin cooked with meat. Perfect! [Reply] 
Hillary - October 20, 2009 - 22:50

Nurit - 1 family. friendly. food. - October 21, 2009 - 19:23
the bitter taste might the beer. [Reply] 
Karly - October 21, 2009 - 22:32
Wow! This looks and sounds amazing. I’ve never tried pumpkin in anything other than baked goods. Pumpkin in a stew. I might just have to try that! [Reply] 
liz {zested} - October 22, 2009 - 15:26
Love the colors and the textures in the top photo. What are you using for the backdrop? [Reply] 
Alan Spalding - October 23, 2009 - 14:15
The only liquid in this stew is beer. Is that right? No stock? How much pumpkin should be used? You said a medium-sized pumpkin but for those of us that don’t know what that is, can you list grams too please? Also, bayleaves and bayleave aren ‘t words. Yeah I’m being a dick but today sucks and I’m tired. I like your pictures. [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Hey Alex. You are right, there is no liquid in this stew other then beer. And as for the pumpkin; I have no idea how much I used, so just use your own wisdom in deciding how much you want to have in there. And thanks for pointing me to the bay leaf mistake. [Reply] 
Peter - October 28, 2009 - 10:48
Ahhhh, I love these stews that teeter with sweet and savory. When done right, cinnamon is a great spice in savory food. [Reply] 
Laura - October 31, 2009 - 05:12
I made this tonight and it was so delicious! My home had such a wonderful fragrance. The only thing I did differently was coat the beet stew meat in a mixture of flour, pepper and salt. This thickened the gravy. I just loved all the different autumn spices infused in the beef and chunks of onion. Thanks for the great recipe. [Reply] 
Kay - November 3, 2009 - 16:07
This looks absolutely amazing. Beautiful photography as well. [Reply]
