Translation and notes
To make stew Jacobijn
Take a roast chicken and take all the bones out, and take “vleckier” or other good cheese, and cut it thin and put in a bowl so that the bottom is covered and put on there of the chicken and sprinkle sugar on it and then put cheese on it again, and then chicken meat and cheese on it and then take stock of fresh beef and put that in and put it on the fire and let it boil and serve it hot, but before you put all these things in the bowl you should take white bread and cut it square and put it on t he bottom of the bowl so that it will not burn.
Ingredients (for about 4 people):
1 chicken (about 1 kg)
white bread
500 g cheese
4 tablespoons of sugar
beef stock
(optional) salt and pepper
My take:
Used rotisserie chicken, with meat pulled in large chunks. The cheese I chose was Gouda, on the suggestion of the original redactors. I used regular white table sugar. My choice of bread was a thick country white from the grocery bakery. I followed the recipe as above.
It was a fairly popular dish!
