The meat was super tender and almost fell apart when poked. And besides the fact that you have a nice dish, you can make a delicious rich gravy with the leftover liquid. So we don't have to waste anything. beef stew

The chestnut mushroom in this stew recipe is a somewhat firmer mushroom. It has a slightly nutty taste and is therefore perfect for the autumn weather. These mushrooms grow at a lower temperature than the white mushroom. They are grown extensively in the Netherlands and are available all year round.
