Peasant Stew
Peasant Stew recipe
Cooking Light, AUGUST 2002
YUM! This was so cheap and so tasty!! Chicken thighs are so cheap and tasty when slow cooked, but this recipe makes them even tastier!! The ingredients are simple but make for such a hearty meal.
It could use some more seasonings though. Maybe Italian spices or some chili powder and more cumin. It just depends on what style you want to make. It’s very filling with just a little bread to dip in the stew. I put the beans in at the beginning because I didn’t want to wait the extra hour for them to heat up. Maybe next time I will have CTM add the beans before he leaves for work. I did make a slurry to thicken the sauce a bit. I combined some water and flour, turned the heat up to high and cooked the broth for about 30 minutes. It was really good for lunch the next day, too.
