Put 2 large peeled raw potatoes in your stew. It will soak up the extra salt. After 20 minutes to 1/2 hour, taste your stew and if it is still a little salty let the stew brew for a bit longer. Don't forget to take the 2 large potatoes out before serving.
Another way...Add mashed potato flakes to the stew. This will also thicken your sauce and you may need to add some water. This is the only remedy that has worked for me, but I have used it hundreds of time without fail.
You could also try a pinch of sugar, which may help in some cases.
Adding something acidic like wine helps to neutralize salt, and to a beef stew, add some salt-free tomato sauce.
There is a Japanese cooking wine called Mirin, a thin version of corn syrup with other ingredients. This also works. Use 1/4 cup or less, adding it a little at a time, to taste. This does not remove the salt content; it only masks it . The main thing is to avoid putting added salt in your cooking , until you taste it.
You could also add a few drops of lemon juice. I've always found lemon juice to neutralize the salt content in my dishes.
One trick is to add several slices of raw potato, which will absorb the some of the salt. This works particularly well in dishes that are at least partially liquid, such as soups, sauces, etc.
Dehydrated mashed potatoes (the boxed type) are also sometimes helpful, if you can get away w/ possibly thickening the consistency of your dish. They tend to clump, so be careful to cool off whatever you are adding them to, or temper the mixture.
Sometimes a tiny amount of sugar added to your goof can remedy the situation as well.
When in doubt, add more milk,sour cream, chicken stock, etc...anything that is a bland, taste-appropriate ingredient and can help dull out the overwhelming saltiness.
It is very difficult to correct too much salt. If it is a little to much try adding cut potato and removing it when cooked - people say this works (I am not so sure). Otherwise throw it out and start again OR perhaps make a second batch of soup with no salt in it and mix it with the too salty soup to produce a mixed soup that is OK for salt.
Sometimes you can drain the liquid and replace it. That sometimes works to nutrilize salts. Sometimes you can drain the liquid and replace it. That sometimes works to nutrilize salts.
You can reduce it by putting more of your stock and believe it or not olive oil
Peel a potato and drop it in the stew. It'll suck up some salt. Cut it up if you're in a hurry, or add more than one potato. A bit of sugar will help neutralize the salty flavor as well.
Adding a little lime juice should neutralize some of the saltiness taste. Adding a very small amount of table sugar can do the same (just be very careful not to add too much).
Peel one or more raw potatoes, cut it in half and put in the stew to absorb extra salt.
