Notes

This stew keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Store in an airtight container and reheat gently. For longer storage, freeze portions in freezer-safe bags. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. For added flavor, stir in a splash of lemon juice just before serving. Variations can include adding other vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes for more nutrition. Enjoy your cooking journey!
