CLOSE4 Easy Stew Recipes
At long last it’s begun to get colder, which means it’s time for heartier, more comforting, warming meals. Summer salads and sunny citrus infused dishes are a thing of the past. It’s stew time.
It’s easy to dismiss the simmering mix of bits and bobs as a leftovers dish, or something too homely to be exciting, but most likely that means you’ve never had a really great stew. Not only are stews usually super simple to make, but they can be bowl-lickingly delicious, ‘this is now my signature dish‘ sort of meals – if you have the right recipe.
Whether you’ve already been converted to the signature dish of autumn, or you’re a skeptic in need of some convincing, below are some of our finest stew recipes to show off just how good this dish can be. Give them a try, or if you’ve got your own easy stew recipe that’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser let us know about it in the comments!

4. Caponata
Not to be confused with the Aubergine & Harissa Stew above, the Caponata is a Sicilian sweet and sour stew that’s a little similar to ratatouille, the homeliest of French dishes. Sweetness comes from sultanas, sourness from aubergine and red wine vinegar, and a super filling, wholesome base from millet.
