	Crockpot Carne Adovada Recipe by John Spottiswood We had this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic. The complexity of flavors - sweet, salty, spicy, and savory - is really amazing. It's better than 99% of the dishes I've ever been served in a mexican restaurant. I loved the carne adovada I had in Santa Fe, but I honestly don't remember any that matched this. If you try this…	7 votes 3 reviews 7 comments 13512 views
	Pork, Sweet Potato and Poblano Stew by John Spottiswood I adapted this recipe from one on Simply Recipes, and it is really delicious. I doubled the onion, garlic, poblano, cumin and sauce from her recipe, and quadrupled the sweet potato. The result was a delicious, juicy stew that had a nice balance of vegetables and meat. I'm sure the original recipe is great too, but I'd highly…	3 votes 1 review 1 comment 6638 views
	Slow Cooker Beef with Barley Soup by John Spottiswood Cooking the pearl barley a long time gives this soup a nutty flavor and smooth texture. It's very different from the chewy texture you get when cooking regular barley over a shorter period.

	Creamy Lentil and Broccoli Soup by John Spottiswood This is a creamy, flavorful, and incredibly healthy soup. The next time you're in the mood for split pea soup (also very healthy), try this instead. It has a wonderful body and a great hearty flavor. If you haven't had sumac before as a seasoning, this is a great dish to try it with. Sumac is commonly used in the middle east to…	8 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 4074 views
	Amazing Lamb, Squash and Chickpea Stew by John Spottiswood We served this fantastic dish over Memorial Day weekend with friends up in Point Reyes, California. The days were warm, but the evening turned chilly Saturday night, providing the perfect setting for a warm lamb stew. This stew is a wonderful mix of sweet, salty and spicy, vegetable, legume, and meat. The broth is thin, almost to he…	2 votes 1 comment 5260 views
	Hearty Pork Stew with Pumpkin by John Spottiswood This is a great stew for making in a big pot on a cool day in the Spring or Fall. We serve it over rice, but it would also go nicely over pasta or with an artisan style bread.	5 votes 1 review 2 comments 3100 views
	Deep Green Lentil Soup with Caramelized Onions by John Spottiswood This rich collection of greens, lentils, cumin and coriander makes a. hearty Fall or Winter soup with layers of flavor. Both French green lentils and more commonly available brown lentils are delicious in this soup. The French green lentils hold their shape better when cooked, while brown lentils may start to break down a bit. Feel…	2 votes 1 review 9 comments 2195 views
