killing_roseEver had one those days that you look in the fridge and go, "Really? I have beef and yet forgot to buy parsnips? How in the world can I put together a stew without potatoes or turnips or parsnips?"
...Just me? Okay then.
If I were you, this is where I'd assume that the cook (i.e., me) has lost her mind. Why, yes, I have. Mostly because I feel like hell and needed an easy, quick stew that wouldn't make me stand too long in front of the stove and included all the nutrients that make me feel better. Start to finish, this recipe takes about 2.5 hours, but you only need to be in front of the stove for about 20-25 minutes. The rest of the time, the food cooks in the oven, and you can be doing something else.
( A stew that hopefully will kill my cold--and tastes good, promise! )
