Five Sharp

Cooking method

Stewed Sunday dinners

A stew is braising's looser cousin — more liquid, smaller pieces, and the cooking medium served as part of the dish rather than reduced to a sauce. It is the most forgiving thing on this list and the most improved by a night in the fridge, which makes it the natural choice when Sunday dinner needs to become Monday lunch.
