There are 3 things I love about this stew:
1. It is truly a meal-in-one, covering all the nutritional basics - vegetables, protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, healing herbs and spices, and rich in vitamins and minerals.
2. It is easy to prepare and doesn't make a big mess in the kitchen while being prepared.
3. It is -- and I can't stress this enough -- very flavourful and delicious. I was hoping there would be enough leftovers to last the entire week but, alas, it only kept my husband and me going for two consecutive meals. (Serves 6 'normal-sized' servings. Probably.)
It's the perfect combination really. I just had to share.
