Renal-Friendly Beef Stew

Renal-Friendly Beef Stew
Homemade Recipe
This is a low sodium, low potassium recipe. Serving size is 9 ounces. Phosphorus 188. Potassium is 420(half) per serving due to leaching of potatoes and carrots. Potatoes and carrots cut in large chunks and soaked in 10 times the amount of water for a minimum of 4 hours reduces potassium by approximately 30 % to 50%. I always soak the maximum amount of time or longer to get the 50% reduction.

Pretty much exactly what I cooked for this evenings dinner except rather than soaking the carrots and potatoes I par-boil them and drain and stick them in at the end.
I also remove the lid from the pan or casserole dish at about the half way stage and allow the liquid to evaporate, this reduces the fluid content, thickens the sauce and intensifies the flavour.

Ouch!

Good reason to leach the carrots and potatoes.
