Hearty Winter Garlic & Vegetable Stew
It never ceases to amaze me how flavorful winter’s natural foods are. The hearty veggies in this garlic and vegetable stew make it a filling meal.
On Sunday afternoons, I love to put on some music, chop vegetables, and get a big yummy pot of comfort vegetable stew going. There is nothing like the warm scent of simmering onions and garlic to create a cozy atmosphere.
It’s funny to me that my kids claim to not like onions, and yet whenever I simmer onions in a little organic grapeseed oil, one by one they start to drift into the kitchen and say, “Mom, it smells so good in here!”
The carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, and cabbage in this garlic and vegetable stew make it a filling meal.
