- 1 glass of white wine
- 1 litre chicken stock
- 1 kg potatoes
Instructions
- Finely chop the vegetables and the herbs (except the bay leaf).
- Heat the oil in a large pot, add the chopped vegetables and the butter.
- SautΓ© under cover until soft then add the diced meat.
- Cook until the meat changes colour then add the wine and bay leaf. Let the wine evaporate then add the stock. Bring to the boil then simmer under cover on medium heat.
- Meantime wash, peel and dice the potatoes. Add these to the stew after 10 minutes of simmering.
