World Wide Stews

Meat and vegetables cooked in simmering water is possibly one of the most commonly used ways of preparing food for the family. However, in these days of instant food the concept of a long slow cook seems to be waning. This recipe has as many variations as there are countries, and it can be a soup or a stew. It can feed a big family for a feast or a smaller family for a week, and you can vary the ingredients according to taste and availability. The cheapest cuts of meat have most flavour.

Equipment.
Basically two things:
A large cooking pot. No, you definitely need a LARGE cooking pot.
And a gentle source of heat.
That's it. Oh and time. And a bottle of FAIRTRADE cooking wine. (Cooking wine = wine to drink whilst the food is cooking).
