My daughter messaged me yesterday asking what to put in her make-shift stew. I suggested rice, pasta, leftover veggies, miso (I knew she didn't know what it was, I just wanted to pique her interest), bits of chicken/turkey, beans (hmm, refried beans would have been a good suggestion too). She hadn't thought of the rice but the other stuff she had covered. She was using a freezer-burned T-bone steak to start the stew, and had already tossed the meat into the pot. I told her next time to cook the meat in a little olive oil or grapeseed oil and then deglaze the pan with some wine. She said she'd do that.
I do miss stew. Maybe I could start one with some prepared tempeh cooked in grapeseed oil, garlic and onions, deglazed with red wine. I may try that, and thicken the gravy with cornstarch or arrowroot. Yum!

Should work, I think I posted a veg. stew last night?
If you get a tasteless stew, look in the cupboard and add soy and any steak sauces that you have.
I made a tasteless gravy one night and lots of it, but it just was not tasting, Mom was visiting and she opened my cupboard and added steak sauce and soy sauce and ? and it was good..........
I put a gallon of stew in the freezer, kept thinking it needed something and now I remember, of all things, I forgot to put the onion in it.
It is good, but needs celery and onion.......
