Stews are my favorite way to incorporate vegetables, protein and tons of flavor into my meals. There are multiple variations to this stew ( vegetables, species, bean types) so don't hesitate to make it your own !
(*) NOTE: when adding corn starch, ALWAYS mix it with water in a separate bowl first, to ensure proper dissolution into the stew or meal.
