Notes
- For the meat: you can substitute it with either chicken or beef but the cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the meat. If you want a vegetarian stew, you can use the same spices and add your favorite veggies, like mushrooms and beans.
- For the broth: you can substitute it with either vegetable broth or beef broth.
- Remember to add the spices at the beginning of cooking. Toasting your dried herbs and spices renders such aroma and releases wonderful flavors.
