Spicy Veg Stew & Hake

Spicy Veg Stew & Hake

Stew is so hearty and nutritious. I love making them on cold days. My signature stew has to be lamb but I recently had swine flu so opted for vegetables instead.

I find they’re easier to digest when my body is at war with itself.

I used peppers, cauliflower, carrot and peas
