Perhaps our favorite thing about this stew is how easy, advisable even, it is to make it ahead. Time in the fridge allows the flavors deepen as the liquid takes on more character. Just give it a reheat (be gentle—you don’t want to turn the tender ingredients to mush or overreduce the liquid) and a final flourish of cooling yogurt and fresh mint. The fragrant sauce calls for a mix of dried spices. If the ones you’ve got in the pantry smell musty or you can't remember when you bought them, restock.
