Yes...I know. Who makes a stew smack-dab in midsummer??? Well, I do...and I'm so glad I did!!! This savory stew called us in from the rain. What a perfect blend of flavors melded together!! Don't substitute a thing as it sings a harmony just the way it is.....a little hot, a little spicy and definitely peanutty good.
