Useful swaps

  • Use broccoli florets instead of cauliflower.
  • Add a diced potato with the broth for a heartier stew.

Why this is a good weeknight call

Only 15 minutes are hands-on. It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
