Notes

For extra flavor, toast the bouquet garni briefly before adding it to the stew. Use fresh herbs for the best results. If you can't find smoked beef, regular bacon is a good substitute. For a vegetarian version, use hearty vegetables like parsnips or turnips instead of meat. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and it freezes well for up to 3 months. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal. A sprinkle of chopped parsley on top adds a nice touch!
