Questions & Replies

  1. This is another of many recipes I have come across that require wine. I flat out don't like it and know virtually nothing about it. I am, however, smart enough to realize it's value in cooking. So my question is - when I need a dry red or white wine to cook with what kind do I buy? Not what brand, what kind?

  1. My husband could not stop eating this. I really loved it too. Thanks
     
  2. I think this is the most flavourful stew I've ever had. Don't skip out on the wine - it makes your house smell great and gives the stew great flavour. I like to make this in the slow-cooker.
     
  3. The best I have ever made. I chose to use a very dark maple syrup to cook with and followed the instruction to simmer for 1hr or more and didn't find it sweet at all. Family favorite.
     
  4. This turned out great. I will make again.
     
  5. I thought this was very good. Nice suptle maple flavor with great veggies and beef. Too bad I'm the only one that cared for it. I made a non-alcoholic version, subbing cranberry juice for the wine and I used beef broth instead of water. I browned my beef and threw it all in the crockpot for 8 hours on low. Very yummy. The lefovers went into the freezer for lunches another time. Thanks for the great recipe.
