Best Answer

You can thicken stews with a paste made from COLD water and wheat flour or cornstarch. Sprinkle flour into a small bowl of COLD water while whisking furiously, and then slowly stir the flour paste into the stew. After 5-10 minutes at a slow simmer, the sauce should thicken nicely.

Never add flour to the hot stew; the flour will instantly clump, and it's difficult to break up the lumps.

There are several alternatives:

  • Flour
  • Cornstarch
  • A mixture of the above
  • Leftover mashed potato
in all cases mix up outside of the stew in a small dish before adding. Stew juice can be used as the liquid in the dish.
