I made beef stew but it is way too salty. Is there something you can add to take away some of the saltiness?

Answer 1

Peel a couple of large potatoes and simmer them in the stew for a while. Remove these potatoes before serving.

Adding a little lemon juice can help, but be careful not to make it too lemony.

Or you could create two stews by dividing it and adding ingredients to each half - a lot more work though.

I hope this helps.

You can add a potato and it will absorb the excess salt. After about 15 min. simmering w/ the salty food you remove and discard the potato and the food should have a TON less salt. I got this tip from the chefs in my culinary school where I assist chefs in their classes.
