Think you dislike beets? Not after trying this recipe! Roasting brings out the beets' natural sweetness, and the feta offers a salty contrast.

JILL-PT
I've been making this stew for over 10 years (since the Volumetrics book came out). I use fresh ground peanut butter and I often add more spinach and fresh herbs or ginger root. I was very happy to see it listed here (saved me the time of having to add it). So, thank you Hillrunner! - 2/22/12
