Vegetarian Stew—Romanian Recipe

Here is a great recipe that looks and tastes like stew, even fooled Mike...he said, "Should we be eating this?” :-)


4 or 5 potatoes peeled(I leave on the skin) and cut into large chunks
4 or 5 carrots peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks (I use the mini carrots)
1 purple onion sliced
1 teas rosemary
1 jar sundried tomatoes (buy them at King Dollar by Steinmart or the 99 cent Store)
1-2 T balsamic vinegar

Sauté potatoes and carrots in 1-2 tablespoons olive oil for 5 or 6 minutes stirring occasionally. Add onion and sauté until onion is softened. Add just enough water to cover bottom of pan, cover and let simmer until carrots and potatoes are fork firm but not mushy, adding water as needed. When contents of pan are softened but firm, add jar of sundried tomatoes that you have chopped into thin pieces. Sauté together, add rosemary. Cover and simmer to desired consistency. Just before serving, sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar over dish, turn off heat, cover and let potatoes absorb the balsamic. Serve.
