While it’s looking to be a mild January here in Baltimore, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy a plate of comforting goodness. Blood oranges are in season and their flavor profile is a little different than other oranges. You may find notes of raspberries, cherries, or even grapefruit and their complexity in flavor are a welcome addition to this rich and warming stew.
A little heat from a red Fresno, a whole head of garlic, thyme sprigs, and the sweetness from the orange make for a sweet, spicy, and aromatic take on savory beef stew.
Serve this stew over mashed potatoes, grits, or with cooked egg noodles for the ultimate winter comfort meal.
