- Pour in the red wine and stir to help de-glaze the pan. Then stir in the stock.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Freeze stew only – cook as instructed and allow to cool completely. Then transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before reheating. To reheat and serve, place on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the dish is heated through.
