With winter approaching, I’m starting to think about dusting off my slow cooker, ready to make some warming stews and soups. I’ve published lots of slow cooker recipes in the past, but I’m always on the lookout for new ones.
Recently my friend Diogo, who is from Portugal, told me about a recipe his mom used to make, and it sounded delicious. He couldn’t remember what it was called in English, but he could tell me what was in it.
Inspired (and hungry!), I searched the internet and found this amazing recipe on The Gracious Pantry which, Diogo told me, was very similar to what his Mom used to make. I made it, we ate it, and we both loved it! Full of flavor, high in protein, filling and tasty, this healthy stew is going to become a regular meal for me, and I’m sure you’ll love it too!
