The first time I saw this dish was on the front cover of a magazine. When I first saw it, I was like “I have to try this dish.” However, I decided to add my own twist on it. I like my stews to have lots of vegetables in it and this is no exception. The green vegetables make this stew look very vibrant as well as the flavoursome herbs.
Moreover, the best thing about this stew is that it is not heavy (despite the cream) and it still gives you that comforting feeling inside you get from eating a stew or a soup. The best time to have it is during early spring.
