Ragout Fermier (farmer's Stew)
There's a quote that resonated with me by Chef Julia Child that really hit home for me all those years ago. She said, "Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon, or not at all." This is the classic example of carpe diem: Seize the day! Cooking should be embraced and should never have any fear in doing so. There is a lot of love to experience in cooking and it can be a very enjoyable adventure. Ive created a guideline, of sorts, for this recipe. This leaves YOU in charge of a few avenues to decide on. You can utilize a variety or just one protein (or protein replacement) for this. You do not have to commit to just one particular red wine. And, you also do not have to use wine at all, if you can't have it. This is a great dish that let's you take charge and make it your own. This can be easily adapted for all walks of life. Whether you are omnivore, vegetarian, or vegan, it really doesnt matter - you can adapt this recipe very easily to your own liking. That is the embodiment of what Julia Child taught.
