This recipe is comfort food at its best. Hearty beef stew with chunks of potato and carrots, in a rich, wine-based broth. So easy to prepare, and filling on these chilly fall evenings. When I was a kid, my dad used to make stew whenever it was really, really, cold outside, and it's one of those foods that has a special place in my heart since it reminds me so much of him.
I don't know if my stew can compete with his, but it's still pretty good! The aroma in my kitchen as this was cooking was intoxicating, and everyone was lining up to enjoy a bowl when it was ready. Serve with a gluten free baguette so you can mop up all the juices in the bottom of the bowl!
Feel free to use up vegetables you have in the fridge that need to be used, or to substitute chicken or turkey for a slightly different version.
