Yes cooking is a diversity, we all have a different ways of cooking that’s what make everyone’s cooking different. Ranging from the spices we use, the time it takes the food to be cooked, the procedures and many more. Yes I know we all know how to make stew but then here’s my own method with a little twist that will be a great taste.

Steps

1

My number one secret is I always use freshly ground spices
2

I infused the oil first with cardamom, bay leaf, anise, fresh garlic and ginger, pepper corns and chilies before removing them and add the blended veggies.
3

Secondly I grill the meat or beef first after marinating it for at least 3 hrs. instead of boiling them. I do both methods but this one is my favorite.
4

I don’t boil the blended veggies differently this will makes all the water to evaporate leaving you with a dry veggies. Instead I fry them directly in the infused oil
5

The fresh herbs(celery, parsley, cilantro,basil,) ginger garlic paste, sugar what so ever you’re using comes 10 minutes before taking the pot off the heat. This will make their flavors to be well acknowledged.

7

You don’t need to over cook them else the flavor will vanished and your stew will have this slightly bitter taste
8

My favorites spices while making stew are: Italian mixed herbs. A good curry, touch of nutmeg, basil,
9

Don’t forget to use chicken or beef stock instead of water. I always have chicken or beef broth in my fridge for making quick dinners or to skyrocket the flavor in my cooking
