Serve this stew with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty Italian bread. The beef stock gives a rich meaty flavour to the oyster mushrooms and the sauce.
Mixing moistened bread crumbs into ground beef is a great way to keep the meat from drying out or shrinking as it's cooking. Use this technique for the juiciest meat loaves, meatballs and burgers you've ever tasted.
For gift giving, pour the sauce into hot, sterilized preserving jars that lend a made-with-love look and show off the sauce.
When you arrive home tired and hungry after a long busy day, this easy one-pot stew featuring pantry-friendly dried pasta and cans of tomatoes and chickpeas can be pretty comforting. Serve with a crisp green salad.
