Add tomato paste, turmeric, cinnamon, saffron and salt and pepper and sauteed onion. Cook covered at a simmer for about 1 and 1/2 to two hours. Meat should be tender and nearly falling apart stage. You may need to add water during cooking but you shouldn't end up with more than the stated amount. You don't want a watery stew. In the meantime, seed the pumpkin and slice into 2X2 inch pieces and peel. Brown on both sides in corn oil. The pumpkin should become brown in some places and somewhat flexible but not totally cooked. Add to meat and cook covered an additional 20-30 minutes until tender but not falling apart. A fork should go into the pumpkin easily but not break it up. Add the prunes the last 5 minutes of cooking. They shouldn't really cook too much but should get warm. Serve over hot basmati rice. Note on pumpkin: Baking pumpkins are the best since they are sweeter and less stringy. I have used jack o lantern pumpkins when feeling frugal and the dish was still good. You want about twice the volume of meat in peeled pumpkin slices. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.

Add about 1-2 teaspoon of salt (to taste!). You get a better stock when you put the meat in the cold liquid, heat to boil and then continue cooking slowly. Peel potatoes and boil until done. You needn't add salt because the beef broth will be salty enough. Reserve the water as well; you may need it to add to the stew when it turns out to thick. Take the meat out of the broth after two hours and cut it apart. You should add the lean parts to the stew. Now add the drained beans. Mash the potatoes and add them as well. When you are lazy you might use instant potato puree, but that's not quite as good as the real thing. Heat the stew while stirring well. If you consider it too thick add a bit of the reserved potato water. (BTW, the right consistency *is* rather thick!) Season to taste with savory, pepper and salt. Optionally you can add a cube of beef stock, although that isn't really necessary (my Mom does, my Granny doesn't...). I like to season the bean stew with vinegar, but this is also a matter of taste. Just try and experiment a bit! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.

As usual, however, we varied a great deal, so the result is greatly different from the book's--but was wonderful. We realized that the recipe started with "Mushroom stock," which would take 3 hours to make. Since it was already 7 in the evening, that was out. The celery root we thought was in the vegetable bin was a rutabaga; we had six shitake to use up. So we improvised: Stock: Gently simmer, until reduced to about 2 cups liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet; add the mushrooms, pinch of salt, 2 or 3 grinds of pepper. Sear the mushrooms over high heat until golden. Add half the garlic and deglaze the pan with half the sherry. When the pan is almost dry, transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in stew pot and add the onion, pinch of salt, 2 grinds of pepper; saute until onion is transparent. Add the remaining garlic, rutabaga, carrot, potatoes, and fennel, saute for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, herbs, and the reduced stock. Cover and simmer until vegetables are soft and flavors melded, about 30 minutes over medium/medium low heat. Serve over grain, pasta, or polenta (we used a mixed spiral spinach pasta and basmati rice left over from previous meals), with crusty bread, bread sticks, or pretzels. The _Fields of Greens_ book takes its mixture, pours it into a 9 inch round baking dish, then covers it with a white pastry cover, with an egg wash on it (there goes the vegan listing!), then bakes in 375 degree oven for 40 minutes. Our variation worked well; we ate at about 8:45 (which is fairly normal for us), a rich and warming stew with the temperature outside at -5, wind chill -37. We'll try some different root vegetables next time, and perhaps add tofu slices as well. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.

While these are cooking, chop onions and tomatoes. In a very large skillet or pan, sautee onions until they are just about cooked (mostly translucent). Add tomatoes and stir occasionally. Crush the marjoram and savory in your palm and rub together to release the flavor, and add to the pan. Add the salt. When it seems the tomatoes are fairly stewy and cooked, add the cooked, well drained lentils (which by this time should be done). Cook together for a few minutes to get an even mixture. To cook quinoa, boil two parts water to one part quinoa. Add grain (supposedly you're supposed to rinse it, but I don't have a fine enough colander, so I do without this step). Cover and lower to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Stir and let sit covered off the heat for ten minutes before serving. This is a really good dish with steamed cauliflower and for a really neat touch, try adding some cooked arame seaweed on top. Soak a handful of arame in cold water (you don't need very much of this - a little goes a LONG way, and it's very very dense in nutrition). In a small pan heat some oil and add a couple cloves of chopped or pressed garlic, and a very small amount of diced ginger (optional). Add drained and squeezed arame and saute for a few minutes. Add soy sauce to taste. When the arame becomes crispy it's ready to eat. Just sprinkle on top of the stew, or any pasta dish for that matter. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.

Add pepper/salt/whatever you like for spices. I sometimes add garlic when browning the meat. Oregano is a nice touch as well. Once the stew is thickened you can serve it. Sometimes I make dumplings with the stew. I usually buy a box of Bisquick as it has a recipe on it. Unfortunately I cannot relay the recipe to you as I don't have any in the house at the moment.

This recipe was taken from POLISH COOKING - Marianna Olszewska Heberle A harmonious blend of flavors known as the Polish national dish. Rinse sauerkraut with cold water; drain well. In a large stockpot, combine sauerkraut, ham or pork, bay leaves, mushrooms, peppercorns, allspice and salt. Add 6 cups broth, bouillon or water. Cook, uncovered, 15 minutes over medium heat. Cover and simmer over low heat 45 minutes. Remove meat. Let meat cool. Place cabbage in a large saucepan. Add remaining 5 cups broth, bouillon or water. Bring to boil. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat, 1 hour or until cabbage is tender. Add to sauerkraut mixture. Bone cooked meat. Cut cooked meat into 1/2-inch cubes. Melt butter or margarine in a large skillet. Add cooked meat, smoked sausage and white sausage. Saute over medium heat 10 minutes or until browned. Add to sauerkraut mixture. In same skillet, saute bacon over medium heat until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add to sauerkraut mixture. Cover; cook over low heat 1 hour or longer. Remove and discard bay leaves. Serve hot. Makes 12 to 14 servings. Use only meat with large bones, so bones can be removed easily. The secret of old-time Bigos is that it gets better as it's reheated on successive days, peaking at the 6th or 7th day. In between, store covered in the refrigerator. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.

Put them into 3 separate bowls and sprinkle generously with white wine. Cover the bowls and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Preheat the oven to 160 C (325 F). In a flameproof earthenware casserole, heat the goose fat over low heat, put in the onions and sweat for several minutes. Lay the leek on top of the onions, then the potatoes. Add the 'bouquet garni', peppercorns and garlic and arrange the 3 meats separately on top, one type to the left, one in the middle, one in the right. Pour over the marinade and the remaining whine. Salt lightly, add the chicken stock and lay the pieces of calf's foot on top. Put the lid on the casserole. Mix the flour with a little cold water to make a soft paste. Spread this paste between the top of the casserole and the lid to make an airtight seal. Cook in the low oven for 4 hours. Service: Present the casserole at the table just as is. Break the seal and lift off the lid. Note: This a Baeckenoffa, a beef, pork and lamb stew: this recipe is from Alsace. Originally, the country people took their dish to the baker to cook in his oven. They would arrive early in the morning, usually on the baker's closing day, when the fire had gone out, but was still warm - the perfect temperature to simmer this family dish very slowly without having to pay for the fuel. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.
