TAWNY SCRAWNY LION’S CARROT STEW
By Courtney Martin, Arden’s Business Manager
When I was little one of my favorite stories was The Tawny Scrawny Lion. I loved the family of ten fat rabbits who convinced the Lion to love carrot stew so he wouldn’t eat them! I still remember standing on a kitchen chair helping my Mom cook and acting out the story.
- 2 lbs. lean beef stew meat
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 carrots cut in chunks or a handful of baby ones
- 1 large onion, cut into chunks or wedges
- 1 can beef consommé
Place all the ingredients in a covered pot and place in oven. Set the oven at 300 degrees and leave for five hours. When it’s finished….stew the easy way! It’s wonderful with a green salad and crusty bread on a cold day….
