• Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms to the stew for added texture and flavor.
• If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the pot during the last few minutes of cooking.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the stew on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent it from drying out.
