    This is my second time making corned beef stew using this recipe and……. it’s amazing 👏🏾

    • YAYYY, I’m so glad you like this recipe, Eunice! Thanks so much for the feedback. ❤️❤️

  • Hello!

    First and foremost thank you for the recipes. They are very helpful! I have been having this reoccurring frustrating occurrence where my stews are very acidic. I was wondering if you had any tips during the cooking process to reduce this and balance the flavors. How can I keep the flavors balanced when using fresh tomatoes and tomato paste or canned tomato sauce and tomato paste. When in the cooking process should this occur for this recipe in particular? Am I missing something?

    Thanks again!

    • Hi Stephanie,

      Glad to you hear you’ve found the recipes useful! There are a couple of things I’d recommend regarding acidity in stews:
      1) You can add a bit of baking soda to the stew to reduce it
      2) Whenever possible, use ripe tomatoes unless a specific recipe calls for unripe tomatoes
      3) I also recommend caramelizing onions at the beginning of stews; that typically helps with acidity in stews
      4) Some folks also use just a little bit of sugar (not my preference), but you can certainly try that as well.

      I also have another version of this stew on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CIegv1VJFnq/?igshid=sf0whbbvvnam
