How do I make a traditional stew

Sure! Here are five different ways to make a traditional stew:

. **Classic Beef Stew**: Start by browning chunks of beef in a pot with some oil. Add chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes. Pour in beef broth, a splash of red wine, and season with salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme. Let it simmer for a couple of hours until everything is tender. Serve with crusty bread!

. **Chicken Stew**: In a large pot, sauté diced onions and garlic until fragrant. Add bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until browned. Toss in chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes. Pour in chicken broth and season with bay leaves, thyme, and pepper. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are soft. Yum!

. **Vegetarian Stew**: Heat some olive oil in a pot and add chopped onions, garlic, and any veggies you like (think bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms). Stir in canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, and your favorite beans. Season with herbs like basil and oregano, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Perfect for a cozy night in!

. **Irish Stew**: Use lamb or beef, and brown the meat in a pot. Add onions and carrots, then pour in some beef or lamb stock. Throw in some potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Let it cook slowly until the meat is tender and the flavors meld together. Serve with a sprinkle of parsley on top!
