The meat is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being processing menu whole , and the water based material all of it covers the essential in a stew as compared 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 reputation for being a rib-sticking meal that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day.

It’s all about those tender chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
