Excellent flavors! This stew is so easy to put together and so tasty and eye appealing. The fresh green beans and the lovely baby carrots made this dish look so inviting. The allspice and cinnamon were wonderful with the broth and tomatoes. This is definately a repeat dish, Di. Thanks so much for sharing.
