I fall to pieces beef stew
Ragout and stew
New Year Day my boyfriend and I had an epic fight, one of those fights that leave you emotionally bruised and battered and wondering if communicating via sock puppet is really as crazy as it sounds...I woke up melancholy and in need of comfort, which I so often find at the stove. I needed the simple steady even prep of making stew, the long wait for flavors to develop, homey nurturing smells wafting through our tiny apartment. I knew that leaving the stew on the stove simmering would lure him out of his fog of anger and into a better place. Cooked with love it was a gift to him and to us. <br /> <br />If you've got it in you.. this would be wonderful with buttery mashed potatoes...or you could add a few cubed potatoes in about 2 hours into the cooking time if you like.
