This was very nice and we enjoyed it, I thought that it could use a bit more seasoning and added some mixed poultry herbs and minced garlic, that brought it right up. I made some garlic cheese biscuits from scratch and baked them in the oven. We don't care for the doughy bottoms of biscuits baked on top of a stew but loved them with this stew on the side. The pair made a very good Fall dinner that is likely to be made again. Made for PAC, Fall 2012.
