Tips & Warnings
  • Broth will thicken as it cools.
  • You want your stew to be thick.
  • Serve with a salad or rice.
  • Remember when working with oil or fat to never toss food into the pan, but place it inside instead.
  • When seasoning your Roti keep in mind that spices that are hot, like Cayenne, will intensify as broths thicken.
