Russian Winter Stew image

The first & last time I ever had dried plums in a stew was when I was on a mission trip in Moscow, Russia. I can remember the big chunks of beef, fluffy cuts of potatoes and plums??? I couldn't believe it! I was eating a stew with dried plums, though very unusual it was an unforgettable bowl of goodness. Well, never ventured to...

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lb beef stew meat
1 lb potatoes, cut in medium pieces
2 - 3 medium carrots, chopped
15 - 20 medium dried plums, pitted (otherwise, prunes)
1/4 c orange marmalade
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar (i used a blood orange balsamic)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 c marsala wine
1 - 1 1/2 c orange carrot juice or orange juice
2 medium bay leaves
1/4 tsp ancho chili pepper
1 small dried red pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder with parsley
1 1/2 tsp thyme, dried
salt and pepper to taste
1 can(s) biscuits or homemade biscuits, or rice or noodles
i used wondra to thicken it. or you could use flour or cornstarch.
GARNISH
orange zest and chopped parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Add all your ingredients (except the dried plums) to your crockpot and let cook for 4 to 6 hours. I would start out with 1 cup of marsala and 1 cup of orange carrot juice and then add more if necessary. You will add the plums about 1/2 before ready to serve. Garnish and serve over biscuits, rice or noodles. Add your thickner when it comes closer to being done. If you have any questions on that just ask. (If you add the plums any sooner they will fall apart.) This is a very hearty dish and great for the Autumn weather.
