A colorful vegetable stew. Make it vegetarian, or not.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 8 servings:

4 large carrots, sliced thin
3-4 potatoes, peeled and cut
2 large green peppers
1/8 red cabbage,
1/8 green cabbage, shredded
1 cup of diced celery
1/4 cup pickled pearl onions
S&P
spices of your choice

optional:

1-2 cups diced ham

Pic5: veggie stew, ham, steak

Directions

Heat olive oil, add green peppers and stew a few minutes.
Add the remaining vegetables.
When adding the pearl onions don't overdo the pickle juice, or the stew will become quite sour.
Bring to a boil and lower heat to simmer until the potatoes are soft.
Serve and enjoy.

Serving suggestions:

If you add ham, it can be a complete meal. (Pic6)
I also served it with some steak with this. (Pic5)
This stew freezes well for later meals. (Pic7)
If you prefer the vegetables crisper, you can stir fry instead of stew.
