This is a very simple yet hearty and flavorful ragout. The method for a dish like this is about as simple as it gets: Saute or sweat whatever ingredients you have at hand or want to eat–meat, fish, poultry, or just vegetables–then add seasonings, liquid (broth and sometimes wine) and simmer for a while. Having made a recent trip to Penzy’s spices (and spending a tad too much money there), and lamb being my preferred red meat, I made this stew. I love to cook this type of food at home–one dish meals that are self contained and easy to clean up–to see other versions with recipes and pictures click here, here, here, or here.
