Organic Stew


Hearty/Healthy Organic Stew

(feeds approx. 4 adults)

1 ½ - 2 lbs. of stew meat (organic, grass fed beef if possible) cut up into 1/2 “ pieces.

2 cloves of garlic

2 organic carrots diced up

½ white onion sliced

2 organic celery stalks sliced thinly

4 chopped up red potatoes

Approx 1 ½ t. of sea salt

Fresh or dry spices (rosemary, oregano…. Whatever you like..herbs d’provence)

(brown the meat first and then add next 5 items along w/ approx. 1 ½ cups of water and let cook covered on low heat for 2 hours so meat can get tender, might need to add more water. I use a cast iron pot, that way you also get more iron in your food)

After this mixture has cooked I add 1 lb. or organic green beans

And cook for an additional 20 minutes.

Then I add an organic zucchini and let cook for maybe 10 more minutes so it does not get too mushy.

In the meanwhile I chop up a variety of different kales and put it in the toaster over tossed in olive oil for approx. 10 minutes or until it gets a bit crispy and then add it to the stew at the very end.

The family loved this stew!! Bon appétit!!!

You can add any veggies that you like to it: broccoli, mushrooms…
