Rainbow Stew
During the winter months soups and stews are flavorful, warming and easy to make. Serve with a loaf of fresh bread and a tossed green salad. This stew is prepared in 2 separate pots and then combined briefly at the end of the cooking time. The mung beans give this a special flavor, but if you can't find them use yellow split peas instead. The split peas will take a bit longer to cook.
