Wonderfull recipe and it was very easily adapted to a 30 minute meal. I needed something quick and for some stew meat, but didn't have time for the slow cooker, so I took this great recipe, cut the meat into bite size pieces, quickly browned them in a tablespoon of olive oil. I cut the potatoes, carrots, and onion into small pieces and threw them into the pot and sauted them for a few minutes with the meat, butter and spices. I then added the flour and blended then added the water. I let it simmer for about 20 minutes. It was fantastic. I didn't change a thing about your recipe, just rearranged the cooking. I can't wait to do this in the crockpot one weekend. Thanks for the great recipe.
