RAGOUT Meaning and Definition

1. Ragout is a culinary term that refers to a rich, savory stew, typically made with various ingredients and slow-cooked for a prolonged period of time. Derived from French cuisine, ragout is known for its robust flavors, combining meats, vegetables, and seasonings to create a harmonious blend of tastes.

   The main characteristic of a ragout is the slow cooking process, which allows the flavors to meld together and intensify over time. The ingredients are often cut into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and distribution of flavors. Common meats used in ragout include beef, pork, poultry, and game, while vegetables such as onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms are frequently added to enhance the depth of flavors.

   Typically, ragout is prepared by first browning the meat in a hot pan to develop a rich caramelization on the surface. Then, aromatic vegetables are sautéed to release their natural flavors and juices. Afterward, a combination of liquid such as stock, wine, or broth is poured into the pan to deglaze and create a flavorful base. The dish is then simmered for several hours until the meat is tender, and the flavors have melded together to form a thick, luscious sauce.

   Ragout can be served on its own as a main course dish, accompanied by pasta, rice, or bread, or it can be used as a filling for pies, pastries, or crepes. Due to its versatility and wide range of ingredient options, ragout has become a popular and celebrated dish in various cultures, transcending borders and adapting to regional tastes.

2. A sauce or seasoning for exciting a languid appetite; meat stewed and highly seasoned.
