Stewing is a process in which a product is fried in a little fat and at the same time boiled in a small amount of liquid, to which various spices or sauces can be added.
At the same time, the kitchen utensil in which it is cooked must be covered with a lid. The products that are processed in this way become soft and juicy and tastier. There are 3 types of ways to stew food:
- stewing in its own sauce - when stewing leafy vegetables, zucchini, spinach or more precisely products with high water content;
- stewing in a small amount of liquid. It is applied only in closed containers, as part of the product is boiling and the top is cooked in the steam;
- stewing after pre-frying. Refers to semi-cooked meat.
