ragoût
Slow-simmered dish
Ragoût is a French word for a rich, slow-cooked stew of meat and vegetables in a thick, well-seasoned sauce.
The term appears on menus and in cookbooks when the writer wants to evoke French culinary tradition: a lamb ragoût with root vegetables.
The anglicized spelling ragout is more common.
