This stew made a great dinner today. I served it with homemade bread and
fresh cut up fruit. We will have the leftover stew over brown rice
tomorrow. This recipe was featured in March issue of Nutrition Action
Healthletter, but I also own the cookbook it comes from. I substituted red
wine for the vegetable oil used in cooking the onions.
