Slow-cooked dishes are a type of cuisine that involves cooking food over a long period of time at a low temperature. The most common slow-cooked dish is a stew, which is a combination of ingredients cooked in liquid and served in the resulting gravy. Stews are usually made with a variety of vegetables, meats, and spices, and can be cooked in a slow cooker, Dutch oven, or on the stovetop. Slow-cooked dishes are popular because they are easy to prepare and require minimal effort.
