  • Serve

  • Serve hot with crusty gluten-free bread if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker stew, mix an additional tablespoon of gluten-free flour with 2 tablespoons water and stir into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This stew freezes well for up to 3 months.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
  • The stew will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like parsnips or turnips if desired.
