Green Bean Stew

Another stew… I told you it cold in Cape Town! This is my husband’s favourite, I’m sure there are people out there with better recipe’s, mostly ‘cause I made it without any reference of what should go into it. 

Green Beans are a good source of Folic, vitamin B, C and iron. The best of all? It’s really low in calories. So this is my original healthy and tasty recipe.

Green Bean Stew

Ingredients:

800g Green Beans (cleaned and roughly chopped)

300g of Beef goulash

1 large onion roughly chopped

1 cup of chicken stock

1 teaspoon of lemon juice (it helps to keep the green beans, green)

1 teaspoon of Olive oil

2 teaspoons of Bistro (Gravy powder)

Salt and pepper

Method:

Firstly brown the onion and meat in the olive oil.

Add the stock and lemon juice stir well.

Add the green beans, and leave to simmer for about 20 minutes.

Lastly add the gravy powder, salt and pepper.

Stir well and let some of the juices cook away.

I love this stew, especially with brown rice. It’s a hearty and healthy winter meal. I hope you try it out and enjoy it as much as I do!!
