Patti’s Stew


A great, easy crock-pot recipe that benefits from the addition of spinach, and it yields leftovers to help you prepare for a quick lunch.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. stew meat
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced in chunks
  • 13 baby carrots, cut in half
  • 1 14-oz. can spinach, well drained
  • 1/8 t. pepper
  • 1 T. parsley
  • 1/8 t. coriander
  • 1/4 t. garlic
  • 1/8 t. ground marjoram
  • bacon grease

Instructions

  1. Brown meat in 1 to 2 T. bacon grease.
  2. Combine all ingredients in crock pot.
  3. Add enough water to just cover contents.
  4. Simmer until done.
  5. Should make about 4 good servings.
  6. (It's the spinach that makes this stew so unique and
  7. also thickens it)

    Under instructions point 4. How long do you simmer for? 1hr – 5hrs???

    Typically in a crockpot, you should cook at least 4 hours on low. But this will depend on the size of the meat cubes. Check the meat to make sure it’s reached an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees.

    The shopping list did not have canned spinach. Would it be ok to use fresh spinach??? If so how much?

    what if I don’t have a crockpot? any other alternative? and for how long should I cook it? would fresh spinach work as well?

    I used fresh spinach and it was great. I also added a can of crushed tomatoes. My nonpaleo husband thought this was a great meal. I did cook mine all day (8 hours) on low in the crock pot.

    If you don’t have a crockpot, you could probably cook it on the stove in a large pot for a few hours on medium-low. However, crockpots are fantastic, and we definitely use them on the Paleo Plan.
