French Stew
Preparation
1
This recipe is really a working woman's life saver, absolutely great when you are having a crowd and would rather visit than cook! The amounts do not matter as long as you have the basic ingredients.
2
The night before you want to serve this (you're messing around the kitchen anyway) :
4
Cover with wine (whatever you happen to have around the house, I prefer red).
5
Add a couple of whole garlic cloves and 2 or 3 bay leaves.
6
Cover and place in the refrigerator (slosh it around a little bit whenever you happen open the refrigerator).
7
When you come barreling in the door (running late as usual) the next evening:
8
Remove meat from wine (that old slotted spoon you never use works great).
9
Saute meat in butter (or.....)
10
Dump wine, garlic, bay leaves in the pot, simmer.
12
Throw in vegetables: potatoes, carrots, onions (you are only limited by your imagination and the picky eaters at your house).
13
When the vegetables are done, its done.
