Swaps, storing and making ahead
Good to know
Swaps
- No habanero pepper? Use a scotch bonnet or a small chili of your choice, adjusting amount to taste.
- No beef stock? Dissolve an extra teaspoon of bouillon powder in 0.5 cup water instead.
Storing it
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until steaming hot.
Making it ahead
The stew can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept covered in the fridge; flavor deepens as it sits.
