Cawl (Traditional Welsh Broth)
The recipe that follows is one that is popular with, and derived from, the local farming community of Cardiganshire. There are regional variations throughout Wales as to what meat is used; some use Pork or Mutton we use Shin Beef. The quantities used here are based on my own requirements for two to three days, as this soup is one that improves on subsequent re-heating. Serve with lightly buttered bread and a good mature Cheddar cheese

The name of “stew” can refer to both a food and a cooking method. Stewing makes not fast cooking chunks of meat, raw fruit or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s same as to braising, instead it does have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but 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 vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.
Stew has a perception for making a rib-sticking eating process that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of old menu of 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 way they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
