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.
