For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of dry red wine during the sautéing process. If you prefer a smoother stew, you can use an immersion blender to partially purée it before serving. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an elegant presentation. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors meld and deepen. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
