12 slow-cooked winter dishes for 4 people

Cooked for varying lengths of time, simmered dishes are all the rage on a winter table.

To warm up, nothing beats a dish that has been simmering for long hours on the stove. A time necessary for cooking but above all for the development of aromas.

Let time pass

The advantage of a slow-cooked dish is that you do not need to constantly check the condition of the food. Indeed, it often takes long hours for the meats to reveal all their tenderness, as is the case for beef bourguignon, a great classic of French gastronomy. But not all slow-cooked dishes need such a long cooking time. For example, stews made with winter vegetables cook more quickly. And if you’re short on time, remember this basic rule: the finer a food is chopped, the faster it cooks. We therefore prefer to slip sliced ​​or cubed carrots (mirepoix cutting) into the liquid rather than whole products!

The magic of sauce

In a simmered dish, there are two main elements, the main product(s) – whether meat, fish and/or vegetables – and the sauce. One does not exist without the other. Indeed, it is the simmered ingredients that flavor the sauce with less intensity. Whether the cooking is very long or rather quick, it doesn’t matter, we give maximum flavor to the sauce. How ? By focusing on powerful ingredients such as onion, garlic, leek, carrot, bay leaf, bouquet garni, spices, aromatic herbs, or even citrus fruits. If the base of a sauce can be water, you can also use red or white wine; vegetable, poultry, veal or beef broth; fish stock, etc.

Whether based on meat, fish or vegetables, here are 12 stews for 4 people to try this winter.
