Notes

Serve the stew in bowls and consider adding crusty bread for dipping. A sprinkle of fresh herbs on top can enhance presentation. For added flavor, include a bay leaf during cooking. Other vegetables like green beans or corn can be added based on preference. For a thicker stew, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes.
