Our grandmothers still knew what is good for body and soul and yes, of course, there was nothing else back then and that's why there were certainly no strawberries on the table in December, but delicious, autumnal stew.
Everything went in there that the pantry had to offer, especially carrots, potatoes, beetroot, but also meat and bacon if available. Before there were stoves in the kitchen, the only way to cook was over a fireplace with a cauldron above it, and everything was forced into one pot. Therefore, a stew is also considered a dish for poor people.
That's exactly why stews are a bit frowned upon, but when you suddenly call them "One pot wonder" everyone is very enthusiastic. Stews are not only practical to prepare, they also warm you up from the inside with the right ingredients. On the one hand, this is due to the ingredients, on the other hand, it is also due to the preparation. If you suffer from cold feet like me, you should try this chickpea stew with chorizo and sweet potatoes. It replaces every warm foot bath, lasts a long time and simply tastes really good. It's one of my favorite "warm feet food" and is still delicious the next day.
