Farmhouse Stew

7.7.12

Another recipe with green beans from the garden! Carrots too! We even used the last jar of canned tomatoes from last year's garden just in time for the 1st red one of this year. I made homemade seitan first before adding some to this recipe. Seitan is made of wheat flour and vital wheat gluten and can also be made in the slow cooker. This recipe didn't call for any spices except salt and pepper and I was worried it wouldn't have much flavor. But the potatoes, carrots and beans were very tasty. I think the seitan added a lot of flavor.

Mushroom and Green Bean Stroganoff

Patrick and I had a very busy Saturday planned to so we used the Crock-Pot to have dinner ready after our errands, including planted a fig tree which you can read about here: http://twinduplex.blogspot.com/
We have lots of green beans growing in our garden right now so we used the Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker recipe book to make stroganoff. It was very good and had very interesting flavor! Here is the recipe:
