His origin :
Originally from Flanders, waterzooï is initially prepared with fish. This is cooked in a broth accompanied by local vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, leeks or celery. It is therefore this cooking method that gives its name to waterzooi, which means “boiling water” in Dutch. The broth is then bound with an egg yolk to give a creamy side to the dish.
