Simple Stew Recipes to create the ultimate comfort meal.
|
| Nothing can beat a steaming bowl of stew on a cold or wet day. Add a slice of home-made bread or - better yet, dumplings cooked right in the stew broth - and you have a hearty, healthy comforting meal.
|
The first simple stew recipes were developed when man first discovered fire, since then man (woman) has thrown whatever game and vegetables he (she) could find into a pot (or container) and let it cook over a low fire until it was tender and rendered a thick sauce (gravy).
| BOY HAVE STEW RECIPES EVER COME A LOOOONG WAY SINCE THEN
|
The earliest documented stew recipes were published in the 1st century. Later more cookbooks showed recipes for stews, ragouts, bourguignon, goulashes, etc. These are all a form of a simple stew recipe.
Nearly every country has it's own stew recipes and they vary even within countries. It all depended on the meat available and the vegetables in season. Over time, some recipe ingredients became more solidified and they began to assume names to distinguish one type from another.
The combination of starchy vegetables, cooked slowly for a long time, acted as a thickening agent and created a gravy. By dunking bread into this sauce, it extended the meal and satisfied the eaters' hunger.
| There are basically 2 types of simple stew recipes: White Stew & Brown Stew.
|
White Stew is generally made with veal, fish or poultry that is blanched and then cooked in the broth.
Brown Stew is generally made with beef, pork, or mutton that is first browned or seared before a stock or broth is added.
| The most common traditional stew meats used in simple stew recipes are:
- Beef - for stews such as: Chuckwagon (Cowboy), Flemish, Mulligan, Spicey, with Vegetables, with Wine - Mutton or lamb - for stews such as: Irish, Spicy, with Vegetables, with Beer - Pork - for stews such as: Savory Pork, French Canadian, Ragout, with Apples, with Wine - Chicken - Brunswick, Fricasse, Booyah, with Wine, with Vegetables, with Green Chilis - Cassoulets - the 3 World Famous Cassoulets + a simpler stew recipe version - Gumbos - from Louisiana, the Gumbo Capital - Cajun, Creole, Fish gumbos + others.
