7/26/2018 0 Comments Stew Over This ClassicStew is a combination of foods, cooked in liquid and served in a gravy or sauce. Here is the United States, traditional stew means a concoction of foods such as carrots, potatoes, meat, onions, mushrooms, beans, or tomatoes. Stew is typically cooked at a relatively low temperature, over time to allow flavors to mix and mingle. Often times, less tender cuts of meat tenderize in the cooking process.
Stew may be thickened by cooking, by coating meat in flour before cooking, or by using a roux (roo) to thicken the sauce. While similar to soup, stews have less liquid and are even thick enough to be served on a plate. Stews have been traced back to ancient times with the oldest record dating back to fish stew from Japan. Amazon tribes have used turtle shells to boil the turtle with various other ingredients. Roman cook books dating back to 4th century AD have recipes for stew with lamb meat.
