This is one of my new favorite recipes. I used jasmine rice instead of quinoa and I ground up shredded coconut in the blender because I did not have coconut powder. I also added 1 tsp of garam masala to the spice mix and used 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon rather than the cinnamon stick. Thank you for sharing :)

This was the best stew that I've ever eaten. I did make a few changes but nothing major. First of all, I tossed the beef with flour and spices and then put in the slow cooker. I did not wait until beef was cooked before adding the juice mix to the beef. I added Worcestershire sauce, savory, more thyme, dried basil and 2 beef bouillon cubes to the cider before putting the juice in my crock pot. I let the broth and beef cook for 1 hour before adding my veggies. I used baby potatoes, sweet potato, brussel sprouts in addition to the ingredients in the recipe. I let this cook on high for another 3 hours and it came out AMAZING. I will be making this often. Thank you for the recipe.

This recipe is much better with boneless pork chops. The bone in porc chops are too fatty for this
