beef stew
After a long spout of sunshine in the Santa Cruz mountains, last night it poured- we are talking torrential down pour with sideways rain and momentary lapses in power. After moving into the salad and lean proteins for dinner, I hunkered down and brought out the slow cooker. Beef stew, it's what's for dinner.
This isn't just any beef stew though, it's a pseudo spring beef stew- with white wine, lots of spring veggies and bright cilantro. I hit it with a twist of lemon right before service to bring out the sunshine again and crowds go crazy for it, especially with a torn piece of french bread- see my artisan-free form bread recipe for inspiration.
