This wasn’t a bad stew at all I just wish it was a little thicker so I would probably add a cornstarch mixture at the end to thicken it a little. It’s a manly filling meal that’s for sure. I also like the fresh lime squeezed in there which gave it a nice citrus flavor. I would make this again for sure in the Fall.
