This is good as is. 5 stars, and worthy of serving to company who would appreciate deep, rich, authentic flavors. I made it as posted, no changes. Use small potatoes or all the broth and flavor is gone. Thanks for sharing! When it was done, the raisins had plumped back into grapes....very juicy. Don't overdo the water.

This was easy to make and has a wonderful flavor. My kids came home from school and said it smells like "Grandma's cooking", that is the best compliment since my mom is an awsome cook. Did not have dry sherry but the flavor was still on point.

I liked the flavors in this but I added 2 tsp of cinnamon to give it a different twist...it was great!

Nice easy to make...did it in the pressure cooker. No tomato sauce, so used one fresh tomato and paprika for color.

Very good and while it looks intimidating its actually pretty easy. I skipped the potatoes and served this over rice with a loaf of crusty bread. I used up the last of our summer tomatoes which I added at the very end. It was delicious! Try it!

Very good flavors! I made it exactly as the recipe states (minus the red bell pepper).....except I just dumped it all in my crockpot and cooked it on low all day. Definitely a different twist than a typical stew I'm used to - but we loved the flavors!

Lacked flavor. Have a similar recipe that includes lime juice. That may have saved this recipe but did not have limes on hand. Was really disappointed with the results. Won't make again.
