Help .I just attempted Rachel Roddy's pepper tuscan stew (peperosa). It si slow braised stovetop with chianti,salt and pepper. Betters with age. How
ever I must have overccooked it. It is crispy not meltingly good. Can I do anything to help it return to a less crspy state?

If not, how does your recipe vary by ingredients or method?
Many times when you get an unintended too-cooked result, sometimes they taste good - a little extra texture, a little more caramelization.
If you don't like that taste/texture, the overcooking can sometimes be modified if not removed.
I would line a new clean pot with a film of olive oil, scoop the current stew into that, cover and refrigerate (minimum) overnight.
After one day, taste and check the taste and texture. If really too burned, or bad-tasting, toss it and chalk it up to experience.
If not so bad, warm and serve.
