It comes in many forms and I suppose most cultures have a version of stew, the epitome of comfort food. Here is a mind blowing list of different stews from everywhere, from France with it’s Bourguignon, to Vietnam for Bo Kho.
Stew was often eaten in our house as kids, and I remember that smell on a Winter’s evening, coming in from School, starving. We would eat it with slices of white bread and butter, for mopping up the juices. Comfort food at it’s best. It was basic enough, usually gigot chops, onions, carrots, and potatoes and a pinch of salt, stewed gently for an hour or so. But those simple ingredients were what made it so comforting, and the broth to drink afterwards in a mug. Imagine my delight when I found this recipe in a beautiful old school copy, belonging to my Great aunt, Ellie Frances O’Carroll. She won awards for her hand-writing.
A treasure and a beautiful thing to share.
