Best ways to enjoy it

When serving your Amish farmhouse feast, consider a few thoughtful touches. Ladle the stew into deep bowls, and top with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Pair it with crusty bread or homemade biscuits to soak up every bit of the creamy broth. For a complete meal, serve it alongside a fresh green salad tossed with vinaigrette to balance the richness of the stew.

Storage and reheating tips

To keep your leftovers fresh, allow the stew to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. It will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating, ensure you heat it thoroughly, stirring often, either on the stovetop or in the microwave. Always follow safe food handling practices to keep your meals safe and delicious.

Helpful cooking tips

  • Prep Ahead: You can chop your vegetables in advance to save time during cooking.
  • Flavor Boost: Consider adding a splash of white wine when cooking the onions for added depth of flavor.
  • Consistency Control: If you prefer a thicker stew, mash some of the potatoes into the broth once they’re tender for a creamier texture.

Creative twists

Want to mix it up? Consider incorporating seasonal vegetables like zucchini or squash, or add a splash of hot sauce for a spicy kick. For a different flavor profile, try adding Italian herbs instead of thyme, or experiment with various grains like quinoa or rice to make it even heartier.
