Meat and acorn squash stew with pears and thyme
Ingredients
1,5 tbsp olive oil
800 gr stewing steak
1 onion
6 cloves of garlic
1.5 tbsp dried ginger
5 dl broth
1 acorn squash
¼ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp sea salt
2 pears
1 tbsp fresh thyme
Instructions
Peel and cut the acorn squash, pears and onions into small cubes. Place in a slow cooker. Squeeze the garlic cloves over it. Add the stew pieces. Add the ginger, cinnamon, salt and thyme. Mix well.
Pour over the stock. Put the slow cooker on low heat for about 7 hours. Pick up the pieces of meat, blend the rest in a blender to a smooth sauce, put the pieces of meat back. Enjoy!
Running the sauce through a blender is a great way to get more vegetables into the kids. The rest of the family had rice with this meal, I personally ate the stew in a deep bowl like a soup. Cinnamon, garlic and ginger are awesome together!
