Identifying with Fruit

Ingrediants:

2 Parsnips

4 carrots

several small potatoes

a bunch of chives

panchetta

stewing beef

vegetable stock

A diced white onion

Half a bottle of wine

So I decided to make beef stew which I didn’t actually eat any of. I made too much juk for my grandma and the stew at the time needed some time to reduce. So I ended eating that instead. I made the stew after trying to remember how I made it with my friend. We had port wine at that time and we didn’t boil off the alcohol enough so I was weary with the amount of wine I used. I chose this wine because it said fruity and it was £3.99. It was this or a wine from California my gut instinct told me to get the Chilean wine. I tasted it after it finished reducing and it it truly delicious. The flavour is a little complex as it’s very strong in flavour. It’s sweet and earthy but there’s an odd creamy cleansing taste/feeling. I think I read/heard somewhere that stew always tastes better the day after.
