Notes

For best results, ensure all vegetables are cut to similar sizes for even cooking. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and consider adding a splash of lemon juice for extra brightness. If you'd like a thicker stew, mash some of the potatoes and vegetables before serving. Pair this hearty stew with crusty bread for a complete meal.
