Skinny Bitches Vegan Red Wine "beef" Stew

Submitted by Dixie in Orlando

"To die for! If you've considered buying the Skinny Bitch books, don't be off put by the title or their salty language! They promote a vegan lifestyle, and however you feel about that, their recipes are TERRIFIC! I made this on a cool evening, and my man and I were amazed at how delicious it is. As always, cook only with a wine you'd drink!"

Wonderful! But an oops friend: You direct us to add onions with the potatoes in the second of the three 15-minute simmer periods, and they're not on the ingredients list! No matter. My family loves it. I'm currently maiking it a second time. And this time, I replaced red wine with Witches' Brew Pumpkin spice wine and a half cup of pumpkin puree. Let's see how that goes over. I'll update!

This was freaking awesome! I wish I could give it 6 stars! I think the key to this recipe was coating the "beef" crumbles with the flour and rosemary. I think I am going to invest in the Skinny Bitch books now! Thanks for sharing this!
