Notes
Tasty Tip
If you don't like beef in your stew, you can replace it with the same amount of lamb. If you don't like beef or lamb, you can use chicken instead. Cut 2 (6- to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast into cubes, and cook in a skillet over medium heat in 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for 7 minutes. Then add to the stew at the same time you would add
