  1. My family loved it! Will be making it again!
     
  2. This is a great little stew. The flavor is fantastic, not overwhelming latin in flavor, but quite flavorful and colorful nonetheless. I used only 2 1/2 potatoes and that was more than enough for us. Also I used tiny manzanilla olives, so I put in about 1/4 cup of them. My only issue is with the cooking times. I cooked mine on high for 3 hours and the veg was still crisp. I cut my baby carrots in half lengthwise and used smaller chunks of potato too. I would say closer to 5 hours on high and 8 to 10 on low. I ended up finishing mine the next day in the oven for 2 hours at 350 to get the veg more tender. Once the cooking time is adjusted this is a stellar recipe so I cannot delete from the rating for that.
