The word “stew” can refer to 2 time a food and a cooking method. Stewing makes slowly cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a flavorful liquid . It’s same as to braising, but it does have a few piece of differences. The raw animal vested is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked whole , and the liquid all of it covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.
Stew has a perception for being a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew can make warming featured food , but stew’s comfort factor more than a way beyond preserving you from the cold . It’s all about those soft and chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
