Really great recipe! I doubled it and think I'm going to be really glad I did; we're having friends for dinner and I think we're going to really plow through this dish! Perfect for a chilly, rainy or snowy day. I appreciated suggestions from other reviewers and incorporated some of the ideas like adding potatoes, tossing in about a tsp soy sauce, and thickening a bit if it was too soupy (mine was, but I created a roux on the stove top and incorporated it to solve that problem). My husband doesn't really like tomatoes in his stew, so I didn't follow that reviewer suggestion, however, I DID toss in about 1 cup of tomato sauce that I had leftover in the fridge (which could account for the soupier consistency). I also added about 1 to 1 1/2 c of frozen peas just about 30-40 minutes before turning off the crock pot. The combo of the paprika, cloves and lemon are really interesting and I think they probably account for the sort of unusual taste of this stew. I'll definitely make this one again! AWESOME!

I thought these needed a bit of salt, otherwise they were great. I doubled the recipe and took them to a large gathering and they were a big hit. One thing you might try is to cut the amount of ginger in half if you'll have lots of kids in the mix--makes them more kid-friendly. A nice recipe to have in your arsenal!

While this is quick and easy, I hoped for a more zippy flavor. I thought the horseradish would really add some kick, but it seemed a little flat to me. Add something more for zip if you're into spicier foods.
