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.

1 Place 4 cups of the water in a medium saucepan. Add the split mung beans and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the broccoli and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until tender. Add the cooked mung beans to the vegetables and mix well. Season to taste with the soy sauce, pepper and hot sauce.
