This recipe has been one I run to when I need a good meal with little effort. Best is you can use what vegetables you have on hand. One pot to use and the flavor seems like it simmered all day. I do recommend the fresh herbs. There is a huge flavor difference cooking this with them. Get your meal started and put your feet up for 40 minutes. You got to love that!

After I made my ratatouille my friend Steve said I should add shrimp or fish. What a great idea. This recipe calls for making my ratatouille then combining with grilled fish. I used cod loin for this recipe.

Couple times a year dad would cook a big spiral ham and have the family over for a big dinner. This is what we would do with the leftover ham.Note: this recipe fills an 8 quart pot to the rim. Also this recipe is easily cut in half if desired.

Picture of my stew before cooked. Will post a picture when done!

this stew is great when you are on a budget

I made this dish before, but I didn't make up a recipe for it. So I decided to make a proper one this time. This is my husband's favorite dish!This stew is very rich because you only use red wine to cook it.If you don't like the sourness of red wine, add water in Step 6 as shown. Recipe by Tomomon1028

This stew is very typical during Easter, and yesterday when I saw the cod at the store, I thought, 'I'm going to try it!' This is my quick version with what I had in the fridge, and I must say it turned out perfect!

my granny used to make this for me when I was a kid in it was 1 of my favorite meals

This stew was far beyond what i originally thought it would taste like. I highly recommend it to any stew lover!

This is an adaptation of a recipe from The Explorers Journal, which is a hiker/explorer quarterly I picked up at a Fjallraven store, where my husband bought a raincoat. The original recipe called for "rock tripe" as the protein, which is a mushroom that can be gathered while hiking, as a survival soup. How hikers would source the chicken stock, brown sugar, vinegar etc. I don't know.

I began cooking few months ago and I got in love with it. This was my first successful recipe I made myself. It is delicious and everyone got amazed with it.

After our trip to Ireland I longed to make a Guinness stew that was similar to what we had there. This stew has a wonderful beefy flavor and it fantastic anytime of the year. Guinness bread is a wonderful compliment to this dish as well.
