Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It will taste even better the next day!
  • Freezing: This stew freezes well! Portion into containers and freeze for up to three months. Just thaw and reheat when ready to enjoy.
  • Pairing: This stew pairs beautifully with crusty bread or over a bed of couscous. It makes for a hearty and satisfying meal.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your heat preference. Start small, and you can always add more.
  • Garnish: Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can brighten up your dish when served.
  • Cooking Time: If you’re in a hurry, cooking on high can cut the time down, but the flavors may not develop as fully.
