My family loves stew. Beef stew, chicken stew, cream stew, tomato stew- any stew!
But I worry about using bought roux.
Have you read the ingredients on a packet of roux?
It's not very healthy.
So yesterday I tried making home made cream stew.
It was delicious!
So I thought I'd share the recipe with you.
Chicken cream stew:
2 chicken fillets
1 onion
1 slice bacon
1 Tablespoon oil
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of vegetables (I used mushroom, pumpkin, beans, carrot and potato)
2 Tablespoons butter
1 1/2 Tablespoons flour
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 cup milk
1 laurel leaf
1. Slice the chicken into cubes, dice the bacon and onion.
2. In a big pot heat the oil and saute the chicken, onion and bacon until chicken is browned well.
3. Cut the remaining vegetables into cubes. The larger the pieces the longer it will take to cook.
3. Add the vegetables to the pot and stir over medium heat until al dente.
4. Season with salt and pepper and add butter.
5. When butter has melted sprinkle flour in and stir constantly over low heat until the mixture is gluey and not dry.
6. Add white wine abd water and stir until mixed in.
7. Add laurel leaf and return to the boil.
8. Add milk and soysauce and simmer over low heat until sauce thickens.
9. Serve with rice and a salad and enjoy!
*yummy is a cute way of saying delicious. Mostly used by children and young women(and me!) :)
