Tips & Tricks

To freeze stew, stir in seafood in Step 2 and immediately cool stew in sauce-pot in sink filled with ice water. Divide stew into freezer-safe containers and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw stew overnight in the refrigerator and purée ¼ of the amount of thawed stew. Cover and reheat stew on the stovetop over medium heat (or in a microwave-safe dish in microwave oven on high) until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
