Corn & Sweet Pepper Stew :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::


Difficulty: Easy

Time: 30 to 35 mins,

Servings: 4 to 6



Sometimes ya just gotta have a unctuous brothy stew.  Serve the jewel family style in a big bowl w/ sides of favorite proteins & brown rice, noodles or crispy tortilla chips.  Any left overs go great w/ ramen & a poached egg!
