Star cuisine is not enough? We love stew!
Probably I have it from my grandfather: The loved soups and everything that has to do with stew. My mouth is watering when I think of his turnip stew. Pea soup, lentil soup, carrot stew, chilli with or without carne or curry? I love all these dishes. I'm not alone.Cooking together different ingredients in one pot has a long tradition and is absolutely international, It's just called Chowder, Hotpot, Irish Stew or Cocido.
One of the most important features of a stew is that you can really get enough of it. With lots of carbs, fat and all the trimmings. I like this very special. It certainly tastes wonderful in the five-star gourmet temple, but often there are the portions so small that at least I am still hungry. I just prefer a plate that is filled to the brim. Stew was always geared to properly saturate. Even the Roman gladiators knew this when they shoveled their cereals with beans to strengthen themselves.
You can not only shovel it easy, you can also make it extremely light, It is even better that every stew can cook. A few carrots, potatoes, greens and an onion? that's enough to make a delicious dish. For those who like it more sophisticated, add sausages to the pea soup, a few crabs in the potato stew or a dash of coconut milk into the curry. Delicious. Whether one must be a particularly good cook for it? Rather not.
Sociable, sustainable, healthy: an all-rounder!
In times when we live in such abundance that we constantly throw away food, the stew has an absolutely sustainable aspect. Actually, you can cook everything in him. An apple in the carrot and ginger soup? The lamb of yesterday in the carrot and potato vegetables? Weisswurst in the bean stew? Sure, that's when it just has to go. Throw together and try it out? for people who are adventurous and creative, the stew is ideal.
Incidentally, he is also sociable. Because what cooks best for many people who come to visit? Exactly. My favorite dish! It's definitely easier to make and to serve than a three-course meal with lots of finesse. You also need a lot less plates and cutlery. And you can eat it everywhere. On the floor with the bowl cross-legged in front of the TV, if necessary standing in the office kitchen, ideally cozy at the table with friends.
Healthy is the whole thing about it. After all, is there a lot of vegetables in it? and so many vitamins. Apart from the fact that such a really nice hot stew just warms the soul. Which can never be bad for the immune system.
Stew is certainly not the Porsche among the dishes that you can cook. Rather an old VW Golf. But he's not at all a poor man food for me. The other day I read an interesting article about Uzbekistan and the rice stew "Plow", which is very popular there. It contained an Uzbek proverb. It read, "If you are poor, you eat Plow. If you are rich, you only eat plow." That sounds very plausible to me.
