   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      cups          seitan -- diced
    1      cup           carrots -- roll-cut
    1      cup           parsnips -- roll-cut
    1      cup           onion -- diced
    1      cup           potatoes -- peeled and diced
    2                    bay leaves
      1/2  teaspoon      rosemary -- whole
      1/2  teaspoon      garlic -- minced
      1/2  teaspoon      basil
    1      tablespoon    parsley -- fresh, chopped
    2      cups          water
    5      teaspoons     tamari soy sauce
      1/2  cup           celery -- flaked
    4      tablespoons   water -- cold
    4      tablespoons   cornstarch
 
 Put seitan, veggies (except celery), and herbs and spices in a large pot 
 (Dutch oven or small stock pot will do).  Sautee in a little water or 
 veggie broth at medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
 Add water and tamari and bring to a simmer.  Cook about 10 more minutes 
 or until veggies are soft.
 Add celery (add at end to help retain color and texture).
 Mix the 4 T cold water with the cornstarch.  Turn off heat under stew.  
 Vigorously stir in cornstarch solution.  Turn heat back on under stew and 
 stir until thickened.
