For a richer flavor, consider sautéing the onions, carrots, and celery in olive oil before adding them to the stew. A splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar at the end can brighten the flavors. This stew freezes exceptionally well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. Serve with crusty bread, a dollop of plain yogurt, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added appeal.
