Gourmet Advice
The Meatballs’ Browning: The aromas are sealed in and the meatballs have a wonderful texture when seared before cooking.
Cooking the stew slowly enables the flavors to harmonize exquisitely. For uniform cooking of the veggies and meatballs and for the broth to be rich and full-bodied, simmer it covered.
Personalize: Depending on what’s in season or in your pantry, feel free to add more veggies like zucchini, squash, or mushrooms.
The Nutritional Advantages
