Notes
Storage and Reheating Let the stew leftovers cool completely before keeping them in an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the dish for up to 3 months. You can reheat portions in the microwave or on the stovetop. If the stew’s too thick, add a few tablespoons of cold water to restore its original consistency.
