Etymology

The term 'stewed' originated from the noun 'stew', which has French roots, derived from the verb 'estuver', meaning to 'bathe' or 'steam'. The early use of stewing was likely a method of preserving food and making it more palatable by cooking it slowly in a pot over low heat. This technique was essential in various cultures as it allowed tough cuts of meat to become tender and infused with the flavors of the accompanying vegetables and spices. By the 14th century, stews were common in Europe, especially during colder months, as they provided nourishment and warmth. The popularity of the dish has continued, and today, stews can be found in many cuisines around the world, each with its unique ingredients and preparation methods.
