- Add water a little at a time stirring all the time until you have a soft dough mix..
- After simmering for 30 minutes, add the cream a little at a time stirring it in between each pour. Taste the stew at this stage and if needed add some salt. Add the pepper. You can get a more traditional stew by leaving out the cream..
