Cook and do chores at the same time! I have tried a lot of stew recipes but this one hit me hard! I have seen this recipe on TV last week. Well, what got me was the look of this dish. It was so delicious to look at! I could taste it just by looking at the picture and besides, I am a very busy person so this is the perfect dish for me. I can cook and work at the same time. How awesome is that? I usually prepare this at around one in the afternoon so come dinner time, I only need to serve and eat. My kids love this as well so it’s a win-win! It’s a very convenient dish to cook. You can add your preferred additional ingredients. For example, try to garnish it with fried garlic and freshly chopped spring onions. It gives a nice twist to the flavor especially the fried garlic! The recipe is perfect as is but feel free to make it more perfect! Have an awesome day. Enjoy!
