What is tinned tomatoes?
Tinned is just another term for canned tomatoes. They can be found off-season and are great for stews, chilis and such.
I made this recipe recently and absolutely loved it! Very hearty and healthy. Thanks!
WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD SUBSTITUE FOR THE RED MEAT…SINCE I CANNOT EAT RED MEAT?? WOULD A CHICKEN STEW TASTE GOOD?
You could try turkey, possibly ground turkey.
The only thing I might change is less liquid base, either wine or tomatoes. Great recipe other than that! BTW is wine paleo?
I just realized I used 15oz. of wine and not 5oz., no wonder it was too thin, I’m an idiot!!
I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I use bay leaf, marjoram and similar spices when making my beef stew?
2. All the recipe (meal plans and shopping lists) assume you are going to be cooking for one person, right? I doubled the amount of everything for the stew (because my husband and I are both trying this diet), but it looks like a heck of a lot of food. Did I do it correctly in terms of my shopping and food prep?
@schreinon, use whatever spices you like. Stews are pretty easy that way and I’ve never messed one up using different spices.
As for portions, the meal plan is designed for two people following it, so you didn’t need to double the recipe. Sorry you misunderstood. If you haven’t already, check out our FAQ for more info and tips. http://www.paleoplan.com/faq/ and http://www.paleoplan.com/resources/following-paleo-plan/
How many people does this recipe serve?
Has anyone put this in a slow cooker all day? If so how did it turn out?
This recipe makes four servings. In general, we expect 4oz of meat per person.
I’ve made a similar stew in a slow cooker and I think it’d be okay if you left it on low for ~8 hrs or so.
Great stew option. I was confused on the cube beef stock and how to prepare. I ended up with the “Not Beef” brand bouillon cubes from Whole Foods. I put a whole cube in without diluting vs. 1/2 cube which is apparently what is for 1 cup of water. I used 1 large can (with juice) of Muir Glen Organic Fire Roasted Diced tomatoes. I think it was about 3 cups but it was plenty. Also used dry oregano and basil. It was easier than fresh and I wasn’t sure if fresh was what was suggested. Added 2 bay leaves and 1 cup of water. When I reheated for later meals I added a little bit of water to the bowl before warming. Very good and made plenty to freeze for later!
