Rustic Sensation Stew (Instant Pot Edition)

A full-bodied, sensate, throw-it-all-in masterwork by James Humecky

This recipe wasn’t planned — it emerged. Built from instinct, memory, and what was in the fridge, it became something alive: a layered, primal farmhouse stew that tastes like it’s been simmering in your ancestral bones for generations.

This stew began as a practical improvisation and turned into an edible meditation on sensation. Fat and

acid. Smoke and earth. Sweet and salt. The simple act of layering each ingredient with awareness became a ritual of embodiment — a reminder that cooking, like touch, is an art of presence.

For years, I cooked by feel. And over the years, a developed some sense of taste and combination and balance. One of my favorite things to do is to look around and see what's available and try and figure out what is the very best, most flavorful, hearty, yummy dish I can come up with.

That also meant that I spent many years, creating marvelous dishes, and then never being able to go back and re-create it.

Recently, and with the advent of voice recording, that moved into automatic transcripts, that moved into AI being able to outline something in an amazing way, I have begun to develop these recipes.

My main hope is that you won't follow it, but that it will be an inspiration and permission to go off the rails in the most delicious and sensate way possible!
