Tomato Stew Recipe

This tomato stew recipe is the perfect cold winter's day companion. There are two basic variations to this tomato stew recipe, a beef version, and a lamb version. Both stewing beef and stewing lamb works well and completely absorbs the flavours of the tomato juices added to the stew.

The ingredients make no mention of herbs, but basil works really well with tomato and you can add a little basil or mixed herbs to the pot towards the end of the cooking process to add a little more flavour.

This tomato stew recipe comfortably yields four to six portions and also freezes well, permitting the potatoes to be removed or consumed before freezing. If you plan to freeze the tomato stew, first thaw it and add a little more water and cook it over low temperature. Even better, use a microwave to defrost the stew and warm it up again.

While you are cooking the stew, remove the scum, fat from the surface regularly to control the cooking temperature and allow to simmer the stew over low to medium heat.

Removing the scum makes it easier to control the temperature of the pot so you can maintain a constant simmer. If you don't skim it off, the scum aggregates in a foamy layer on the surface, which acts as insulation. It traps more heat in the pot and can cause your pot to boil when it would otherwise be simmering.
