Notes
Serve the stew hot in bowls. You can add a piece of crusty bread on the side for dipping. A sprinkle of fresh parsley can also add a nice touch. Let the stew cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, freeze it for up to three months. Reheat thoroughly before serving. For a thicker stew, mash some of the potatoes after cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or green beans. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
