Here's a recipe for a Bean Medley Curry Stew that I made a couple weeks ago. It's very warming and perfect for the chilly Fall weather this time of year 🍂🍃 The flavours are inspired by an Ital Stew I had at a Jamaican restaurant, so it was a bit of an experiment creating this. Hope you all enjoy 😊 - 3 large tomatoes
- 1 onion - 3 cloves of garlic - 2 large celery stalks
- 1 yellow poatoto
- 2 medium carrots
- 3 cups of spinach
- 1 TBS avocado oil - 1 TBS tamari (or soy sauce)
