Notes
For the best texture, ensure the vegetables are cut evenly to cook at the same rate. Sautéing the vegetables until they are fragrant enhances the overall flavor of the stew. Don't rush the simmering time, as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully. This stew stores well in an airtight container for up to three days and can also be frozen.
