	Chahohbili - Georgian Chicken Stew by John Spottiswood This is another dish that I had while in Russia, and it's popular throughout the former Soviet Union. This might be the most commonly made Georgian dish. I'm a big fan of the flavors. I served it over rice, but it would go nicely with pasta or crusty bread too. To me, this isn't as remarkable as the Georgian beef stew that I…	3 votes 2 reviews 2 comments 14657 views
	Malaysian Pork Stew with Garnishes by John Spottiswood This recipe, which is adapted from the New York Times Cookbook, is just outstanding.

Nancy and I used to eat at his restaurant, the Frontera Grill, when we lived in Chicago. I served this over black beans and rice along with my spicy Ropa Vieja recipe and it was a huge hit.

	Mexican Chicken Stew by John Spottiswood I adapted this from a popular food network recipe and served it at a ski trip up in Tahoe. Everyone loved it. We served it as leftovers alongside the another meal the next night, and almost everyone had a second bowl and said it tasted as good if not better! This is pretty similar to posole, but perhaps a bit less soupy than most.…	4 votes 4210 views
