When longing for a bowl of warmth in the fall season, most people tend to include chili and beef stew in their diet. Time factor is the biggest trouble with both of these options. To come up with the best versions of each, you need long simmers. This develops the great and comforting flavors that you are looking for in the dishes.
However, not everybody has the time to simmer for long. So, if you are planning to prepare stew dishes on the weekdays, the scrumptious seafood stew could be the best bet. The seafood stew is as rich and flavorful as a fine chili or meat stew could be. Seafood can be cooked easily and quickly, unlike beef that requires long simmer to attain the tenderness.
To prepare seafood stew, you do not have to follow any given set of rules. You can add or subtract the ingredients as per your wish and taste. But, keep in mind to cook the seasonings with onion and oil first. It helps them attain the deep flavors that normally require longer cooking time.
