Recipe Tips
- To make this recipe gluten-free, swap the plain flour for either cornstarch or gluten-free plain flour.
- If you’re running low on time, you can simply skip the browning of the meat and the cooking of the wine. I would reduce the amount of wine you use by a quarter.
- Cut the vegetables and meat to the size that you like them. For example, if you want an extra chunky stew, then cut them large.
- Stews are super flexible, so feel free to experiment with different vegetables and flavorings.
- The stew should cook to be thick enough. However, if you want it to be thicker, then you will need to thicken it using cornstarch.
