Summer Favorites Revisited - Three Sisters Stew


Just realizing that we are way into summer and I have some favorite recipes still to enjoy. I am going to put off posting my meals from back in April and enjoy the current season. I think this post will be the first in a series revisiting summer favorites.

Three Sisters Stew with Okra and Leeks is a great one dish meal that shows off the tastes of summer. I use olive oil in place of butter and leave out the sour cream garnish.

The recipe can be found in Peter Berley's Fresh Food Fast.
