This stew is a great way to use up leftover holiday ham. I added some chopped ham to the stew and it turned out great.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the beef with tofu. The stew was still delicious and hearty.

This stew is a great meal to prepare ahead of time. I made it on a Sunday and it lasted me all week for lunch.

I'm not a big fan of prunes, but I really enjoyed this stew. The prunes added a subtle sweetness that balanced out the spiciness of the stew.
