The word “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 flavorful liquid . It’s same as to braising, but it does have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked all of it , and the water based material all of it covers the essential 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 reputation for being a rib-sticking eating process that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew can make warming featured food , but stew’s comfort factor goes way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those tender 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.
