The word “stew” can refer to both a dish and a cooking method. Stewing makes slowly cooking piece of meat, raw fruit or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s same as to braising, instead it does have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into few of 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 all of it . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.
Stew has a reputation for making a rib-sticking eating process that comfortable you up on a cold , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the chill . 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.
