This stew is simple and delicious. I'm fortunate to live in Maine where buffalo stew meat is not hard to find. In general I halved this recipe because I had 1 pound of buffalo stew meat. I used 1 quart of water, 2 stalks of celery, 2 carrots, and the full 1 cup barley. Thanks, Chef Otaktay! -
Although the instructions call for adding carrots, no carrots are listed under ingredients. Also, if 4 quarts of water are to be added, then the amount of barley should be increased. As it is now, there's way too much water for the listed ingredients. Finally, I found 6 stalks of celery were needed, not 2.
