This stew was awful! The meat was tough and the vegetables were mushy. The sauce was bland and had no flavor. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful. The meat was tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly, but the sauce was a bit too thin.
