Super delicious! In regards to quantity, it made 4-5 quarts of stew. The serving size used for the calculation must be 2 or even 2.5 cups. Really way more stew than needed for 2 people, but it tasted so good that the leftovers disappeared within a few days. I didn't even have to freeze any of it. - 12/13/08

I would absolutely make this again! My thirteen-year-old brother who hates anything green and anything spicy, cleaned his plate and even served himself seconds. I served it with brown rice and it was incredibly filling. I added two tbsps of peanut butter, which helped bring out the peanut taste. - 1/10/09

My 2 year old, my vegan friend, and my family ALL loved it! Subbed 8oz of Porter and 4oz water for the veggie broth. Cooked spices and onion in pan and then put in the slow cooker with other ingredients and cooked on high for 6 hours - still turned out amazing! We will be making this again. - 5/4/12

I made this last night and we just loved it. I did start out by adding chicken but stuck to all the recommended spices and veggies. Also, instead of adding the peanuts, which i did not have, I used PB2, which is a defatted peanut powder. This allowed me to use it as a thickener and for taste - 1/13/11
