Hi Mums, our recipe this week is how to make Carrot Stew. It is a slight change from the norm. You cannot guess that this stew has any carrot in it because it looks just like the tomatoes and pepper stew that we usually make, just without the tomatoes. However, you have the benefit of your stew and the vitamin A that comes with Carrots. Did we mention how affordable carrots are now?
