Directions

Traditional german stew,

1) Dice meat and mirepoix vegetables. If you bought the latter pre-packed: Lucky you. I'm a poor student and have to dice my own.
2) Braise the diced meat in a big pot. The original recipe asks for a lot more fat. But we're not hard working farmers are we?
3) Add the Mirepoix. Fill up with water. Cook. While you do so, peel and dice the potatoes and clean and cut the beans.
Add them once the stew is halfway done. I know, "halfway done"?, but it's a traditional recipe back from the time when farmers could estimate the weight of an apple with more precision than my kitchen scale.
5) Cook until done. Season. Add parsley for decoration.

Hint: Traditional german (and polish) stews only get better with time - we're talking days, not weeks, of course. Freeze some. Leave some for tomorrow.
