BEEF STEW WITH SQUASH AND A SURPRISE INGREDIENT!

Steps:

• If you have the time and inclination:.
• - Brown the beef in a large skillet until seared on all sides.
• - You can also brown the onions if you are so inclined.
• If you are like me and are trying to do this at the crack of dawn before racing out the door to the bus stop and then to work start here:.
• Plug in the crock pot.
• Toss in the chopped onions, garlic, carrots, squash and beef.
• Stir in all the spices except the fresh cilantro.
• Pour in the tomato sauce.
• Cook on LOW for 6 - 8 hours.
• About 15 minutes before it is going to be served or as soon as you get home:.
• add the peas, cilantro and the olives.
• Stir it all up and let cook another 15 minutes or so.
• I served it over whole wheat couscous with a hunk of roasted garlic bread that Jeff picked up on the way home. It was a hit - everyone decided it was a keeper and that the addition of the olives (the secret ingredient) was genius. I loved the way it added a nice salty counterpart to the sweet squash. If you wanted to you could also add a bit of chicken stock to the stew at the beginning.
