What does RAGOUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A richly seasoned stew of meat, poultry, or vegetables, usually cut into small pieces and cooked slowly in a thick sauce.
A cook builds a ragout by browning small pieces of meat or vegetables and then simmering them slowly with stock, wine, and seasoning until the sauce thickens and the flavors deepen. The word came into English from French, where the original term described any dish meant to sharpen or revive the appetite, and ragout still carries connotations of hearty, well-seasoned home cooking. A ragout can be built around almost any main ingredient, from a classic ragout of mutton to a vegetable ragout served over pasta or rice. Some older recipes also use ragout as a verb, meaning to turn ingredients into a ragout by stewing them together.
