- Vegetables: Customize your stew by adding or omitting vegetables like green beans, spinach, or kale.
- Seasoning: Add extra herbs and spices that complement the Parmesan flavor for a unique twist.
- Cream: Heavy cream gives the stew its thick, creamy texture, but you can substitute with evaporated milk for a lighter option.
