    How to Make Pumpkin Chowder With Toasted Pepitas

    Author Steven Petusevsky: “This chowder is rich and full of bold tropical flavor. You can leave it chunky as I do, or purée it if you like it smooth and creamy. Sometimes I substitute 1 cup of the vegetable broth or water for a cup of light coconut milk for a bit of extra richness.”

    Hara Freekeh Tahiri

    How to Make Hara Freekeh Tahiri

    Freekeh (pronounced free-kah) is a grain food made from young green wheat that is roasted. Freekeh is prepared by harvesting wheat while the grains are green and the seeds are still soft. The wheat is sun-dried and roasted using a special technique. The wheat is then rubbed, and sometimes cracked. Hara Freekeh Tahiri is a fresh, healthy one-pot meal. Hara means green in Hindi. In this recipe, the green comes from the spinach, peas, and cilantro.

    Classic Beef Stew

    How to Make Classic Beef Stew

    You don’t need cold weather to enjoy a great beef stew. There are so many new renditions of beef stew, but if you can make this classic version really well, that’s all you’ll need. Although button mushrooms can be used, try and seek out cremini mushrooms as the stew will taste more full-bodied.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Combine the all-purpose flour with the Italian seasoning. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Dredge the beef cubes lightly in the flour mixture and add the beef, in batches to keep the beef in one layer, until well browned on each side.
    2. Remove the beef from the pan and deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup chicken broth. Add in the mushrooms and sauté for about 4 minutes until well browned. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and deglaze with another 1/4 cup of the broth. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 4 minutes. Return the beef to the pot, add the remaining chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Partially cover, lower the heat to simmer, and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    3. Peel and cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch pieces. Cut the carrots into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the potatoes and carrots to the stew and continue to cook for another 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add in the reserved mushrooms, peas, and thyme. Season with red wine vinegar and black pepper.
