Story

I get bored with the same old Dutch oven beef stew dish. You know, the tomato/potato/carrot/beef style.
So, I decided to lighten and brighten it up with some unusual ingredients. White wine instead of red wine. Vegetable broth instead of beef broth. Cinnamon instead of paprika. Chickpeas instead of potatoes. Oranges instead of tomatoes.
This new stew is a big hit with the family. It is filling and delicious! Try this recipe the next time you're looking at a sale on beef stew meat but not so thrilled about the same old stew.
Serve in big bowls with crusty bread.
This also freezes well and will keep fresh for around 3 months as long as your container is well sealed. To reheat, take the stew out of the freezer and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Place the amount you want to reheat in a saucepan over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through.
