If a stew is too salty how can you neutralize the salt flavor? |
[Edit] |
Fixing salty stew
Put 2 large peeled raw potatoes in your stew. It sucks up the extra salt. After 20 mins., to 1/2 hour taste your stew and if it is still a little salty let the stew brew for a bit longer. Don't forget to take the 2 large potatoes out before serving.
If all else fails ... add Ketchup!
Another way...
Add mashed potato flakes to the stew. This will also thicken your sauce and you may need to add some water. This is the only remedy that has worked for me, but I have used it hundreds of time without fail.
Adding something acidic like wine helps to neutrilize salt, and to a beef stew, add some tomatoe sauce.
