Stewing is a process to where foods are cooked together in broth.
For example:
# Heat oil in a pot. Fry shallots and garlic.
# Add in herbs and stir more. # When herbs are fragrant, add in your vegetables. # When vegetables are soft, add in broth. # Bring broth to a boil, then add in your meat. # Bring broth to boiling point then reduce heat to simmer. # Add in thickening agent. # Cook until meat is soft. # Serve hot.
Grilling is normally done over an open flame. Stewing is cooking in liquid. Most foods can be cooked with either method. The choice will depend on what the desired results are.
A nutrient found naturally in many foods would be a mineral, just in general.
