stew
Hearty braised dish
Stew is a dish of meat and vegetables cooked slowly in liquid—heartier than soup, with less broth.
The verb means to cook this way: Let it stew for an hour.
Figuratively, to stew is to fret or simmer with worry: She stewed over the decision all night.
To stew in your own juices is to suffer the consequences of your own actions.
