Red and White Vegetable Stew

Red and White Stew by wanwu73 on Polyvore

 

 

This spicy stew is very warming on a cool day.  The name is derived from all white vegetables, and a spicy red broth. 

 

 I used my slow cooker for this recipe

 

Ingredients:

 

1 garlic clove

3 cups robust umami broth

2 TB cornstarch 

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp chilli paste

1 cup cauliflower, cut into bite size pieces

2 large potatoes, cubed

1/3 cup thinly sliced onion

1 tsp dry white wine

 

Directions: 

Add all ingredients (dilute the cornstarch with several TB of broth to smoothly incorporate into the stew),except the wine to the slow cooker.  Cook on high for 3 hours, or low 5 to 6 hours, depending on how your slow cooker cooks (mine cooks fast for a slow cooker).  About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the wine.
