This time of the year, I look forward to a warm hearty dinner that's not too complicated. Winter stews are perfect for putting together some of your favorite ingredients and cooking them in water, and transforming them into a thick rich savory blend of meat and vegetables.Lately, I've been cooking beef stews, in particular the French Beef Bourguignon. I first tried this dish when I was invited for dinner at my friend's house, in the suburbs of Paris. I was immediately struck by the incredible juiciness and tenderness of the beef. Beef Bourguignon is probably my favorite stew. The beef simmers in an assertive Burgundy for hours resulting in a mildly sweet succulent meat.
While I tend to make beef stews, there are several other kinds of stew to choose from when cooking, including many that are vegetarian. Below are 8 recipes for very different stews:
- Martha Stewart's Indian Stew - It's perfect for thos vegetarians out there!
- Beef Bourguigon
- Kabset Baitenjan - This is an Iraqi-style beef and vegetable stew.
- Braised Lamb Stew
- Baby Root Vegetable Stew with Black Tea Prunes - This is another vegetarian stew.
- Moroccan Chicken Stew with Sweet Potatoes
- Georgian Pork Stew
- Bahian Seafood Stew with Coconut and Tomato

I'm guessing this is the link to the MS stew that doesn't work. http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/easiest-indian-stew
And if that's of interest to anyone may I suggest this red lentil curry that has what looks like a much more layered flavor profile. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Red-Lentil-Curry/Detail.aspx
I add coconut milk at the end.
