As usual in cooking, the copyright for the stew belongs to the French. They gave the name to the dish "ragout", which means "to whet the appetite." Although the innovation of the French in the invention of stew is a controversial issue, since similar dishes are found in the cuisines of many nations. Previously, stews were prepared exclusively from meat, which was stewed over low heat for a long time. Then they began to add vegetables, mushrooms, legumes and other products to it. From which today there are a great many options for preparing this dish. There are dozens or even hundreds of recipes for this dish. Because a wide variety of foods can be found in the same saucepan.
