I told my husband to get on this site and find something for us to make for dinner. This is what he came up with. WOW!!! What powerful and intense flavor. Your stew has a very hearty and savoury flavor that kept us coming back for more. Thank-you Nurse Di. This is going to be something we will make over and over again.
