Sweet & Savory Beef Stew

From EatingWell: September/October 2008

This beef stew for two replicates the flavors in tzimmes, a sweet stew traditionally served at Rosh Hashanah to start the New Year. This version gets natural sweetness from cherries and butternut squash.

READER'S COMMENT:

"This was a great recipe. There was no butternut squash at my market, so I used yellow squash. I also used dried cranberries because they were cheaper. The result was delicious!! I loved it so much that I am probably going to make it again...

Easy and delicious. I would not recommend frozen butternut squash - it breaks down and you get almost a chunky ragu. Still tastes delicious, and saves chopping time, but it won't look like the pic! :)

Yum!

My husband and I really enjoyed this. We left out the cherries, but did everything else exactly as the recipe stated. We served it over a bed of cauliflower garlic mashed potatoes (prepare one packet of trader joe's boxed garlic mashed potato mix and add 1/2 head of steamed cauliflower...mash together.) Comfort foot at its finest!

Pros: Easy, Simple, not too many ingredients

Really Easy & Tasty!

This was a really easy recipe. I dont like dried fruit (cranberries or cherries) in my food so I left that out. It was still an excellent dish. I did add garlic, potatoes and a little more beef broth which made it nice and thick. Will cook this again!

Pros: Simple, Filling, Healthy

This was a great recipe. There was no butternut squash at my market, so I used yellow squash. I also used dried cranberries because they were cheaper. The result was delicious!! I loved it so much that I am probably going to make it again for my boyfriend.

The only thing is that it does take two hours to make, so this is a perfect recipe for the weekend and not during the week.
