The 8 Stews You Should Cook This Season

November  5, 2013

Yes, we know, it feels like we were just talking about tomatoes. And peaches. And hell, spring break. But it's time to face it; it's time to get out that Dutch oven, it's time for a glass of red wine, it's time -- oh yes -- to make some stew.

Whether it's for a weeknight dinner or a Sunday project, stews -- like tomato sandwiches in the summer -- are what we really want to eat right now. That's okay; give in. Let's get stewing!

I LOVE stew. My favorite is so simple: Barley or another grain, lentils, whole canned tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, onions, celery. A couple bay leaves, salt and pepper. Then slow-cook that bad boy. (I'm a vegetarian, probably obviously.) It's amazing how everything gets cooked perfectly in the tomato juice. It's hearty and warming and reminds me of my childhood.
