Not much difference but the name, and that's it.........Ragout is a French stew.........usually more meat and sauce than veggies, but like traditional "stews", they're pretty free form.....ya can't really screw them up too much......So, if you feel inclined to make a Burgundy Beef, you can call it Ragout a Boeuf..........Kinda like I do when I make Duck a la Orange, only with chicken and Tang.......(kidding) Enjoy!!

What is the different between a stew and a ragout?

No question that the two are similar! I couldn't find anything in my personal cookbook collection to back this up, but when I see "ragout", I think of a stewed dish of food in small enough pieces that it's almost as much a sauce as a stew. (did you know the name comes from the French verb "ragouter", which means "to revive the flavor of"?) Whereas you sometimes see a stew made up of pieces of food big enough that you have to cut them up to eat them. So to me, all ragouts are stews, but not all stews are ragouts. That's my best shot... I'll be interested to see if anyone has a more definitive answer!

The name. Ragout is more herbed/spicey that a trad English stew.
