This week has been tough. Pretty much out of nowhere, I started feeling under the weather and proceeded to spend the next two days in bed. After 30 hours of sleep, I’m refreshed but still quite low on energy. Luckily, The Hubs made a huge batch of braised ribs and pumpkin last weekend for me to enjoy while he’s out of town so I haven’t had to worry about cooking. As flu season continues, and I continue to recover, stews, soups and congee will be on the menu for the foreseeable future. This recipe for a hearty Beef Shank Stew hits all the right spots for flavour, comfort and easy to make.
