	African Chicken in Peanut Sauce by John Spottiswood I first had this in graduate school when a classmate from Ghana cooked it for an International progressive dinner. I fell in love with the combination of sweet peanuts and pungent spices. This is not a flavor you will easily forget, and it will keep you coming back for more!	56 votes 22 reviews 28 comments 119788 views
	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 Goulash by John Spottiswood This recipe sounds common, but it originates from the Boston Ritz Carlton where it was one of their three signature dishes for a long time. Once you taste it, you'll understand why such a common sounding dish could fare so well at the Ritz. It's awesome! It was captured by James Villas in one of my all-time favorite…	10 votes 4 reviews 2 comments 8139 views

	Pork Stew with Wine by John Spottiswood This is another phenomenal recipe that I adapted from a recipe from James Villas in Stews, Bogs, and Burgoos. I still have not found a recipe from this book that is not amazing. Anyway, don't be thrown off by the fruit in this recipe. It blends in with the wine, meat and vegetables to make a luscious combination. This recipe…	4 votes 2 reviews 2 comments 5258 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
	Country style ribs and vegetables--Slow Cooked by Nancy Miyasaki These tender country style ribs, slow cooked with tomatoes, peppers and onions, are yummy. We served them with a heap of pasta flavored with garlic and olive oil. Rice or a crusty bread, possibly even corn bread, would be yummy too.	2 votes 1 comment 54050 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
	Posse Stew by Clarisa Skinner When I was a teenager, my step-father made a dish he called Posse Stew. Basically it consisted of browned ground beef and several cans of vegetables and kidney beans. Since then I have changed the recipe some to suit my family's tastes (no kidney beans for sure!) and it has become one of my favorite comfort foods. The recipe is…	1 vote 2741 views
	Lentil & Sausage Stew by Nancy Miyasaki This is a warm and hearty stew that is also good for you! I adapted this from a recipe on the label packaging of Trader Joe's black lentils, but reduced the sausage and made a few changes.	3 votes 1 review 2957 views
