- Add greens – Stir in a handful of spinach or kale just before serving for extra colour and nutrients.
- Boost flavour – Add a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for an extra flavour lift.
- Serve with bread – Crusty bread or garlic toast is perfect for soaking up the delicious broth.
- Make ahead – This stew tastes even better the next day after the flavours have melded together.
