The name of “stew” can process to both a dish and a make dishes method. Stewing involves not fast cooking chunks of meat, raw fruit or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s similar to braising, but it does have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked all of it , and the water based material completely covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for being a rib-sticking meal that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor goes way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
