à la boulangère

/ah lah boo-lahn-JHEHR/
[French]

"In the style of the baker." Baked or braised in the oven, often describing lamb dishes with onions and potatoes or chicken or fish. Before every household had an oven such dishes were often brought to the baker to be cooked after the bread was finished. It is a convenient way of baking multiple ingredients in one container.
