Clove and bay leaves are added to the thick gravy. It is usually served with mashed potatoes and red cabbage.

==Origin== The word ''hachée'' in French means chopped or ground, being the past participle of the verb ''hacher'' -- to chop or grind. Hachees have been described in Medieval buffets, although the exact recipe usually is not described. The stew probably has its origin in the reuse of meat cooked in a Dutch oven together with vegetables that happened to be available. Wine or vinegar were added to make the meat more tender.<ref>{{Cite web|date=12 December 2021|title=37x Typisch Nederlandse eten.
