💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can use a combination of beef and pork.
- ✓If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot towards the end of cooking.
- ✓Barley can absorb a lot of liquid, so you may need to add more broth or water during simmering if the stew becomes too thick.
