Crock Pot French Slow Cooker Stew
It is a delicious recipe based on French cuisine. Slowly cooked meat in a spicy sauce of wine (or stock), vegetables, and herbs. Simmering over low heat for a longer period ensures the flavors have time to blend well, and the meat becomes wonderfully tender. Each region has its own stews and variations thereof.
Adding cream to the sauce gives it a velvety and rich taste, making the recipe luxurious. It makes this French stew with ham steaks even tastier.
French Ham Steak Stew
I served this French stew with pasta and a salad. The meat was wonderfully tender and delicious and almost fell off your fork. The sauce was creamy and velvety, and we liked mixing it with the pasta to enjoy it fully.
It is a straightforward recipe; you hardly have to worry about it. You just have to remember to add the cooking cream half an hour before serving so that everything gets seasoned. We enjoyed it; this recipe is highly recommended, especially if you like French cuisine.
