Ingredients

There is nothing like a warm, thick stew to serve as the perfect comfort food on a cool, crisp, fall day. Throwing the ingredients into a crockpot to simmer all day, or standing over a pot, faithfully stirring the ingredients – either way, the results are wonderful. Here are some tips for making the perfect stew:

Instructions

· Fresh ingredients are best
· Stews always taste better if made in advance and reheated just before serving
· If your stew ends up slightly salty, add a whole, peeled potato and simmer for about 15 minutes to absorb salt. Remove the potato and serve.
· Be aware that herbs will have a more intense flavor if added at the end of the long cooking process.
· Wine is a great flavor addition to stews. When using wine or alcohol, use less salt as the wine tends to intensify saltiness.
