The stew was a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the almonds in this stew for pistachios. It was still delicious!

This is the best quince stew I've ever had! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the quince was so tender. I will definitely be making this again.
