healthy essentials: bone-marrow vegetable stew
Not only does this stew taste amazing, it is actually good for you. The bone-marrow broth is combined with the fresh veggies to make a hardy/flavorful stew that is great any time of the year, but actually shines best on those cold Autumn and Winter days that are coming up. I vary the spices, based on the season, but other than that it is fairly straight forward to make. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make healthy essentials: bone-marrow vegetable stew

Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2The best place for veggies is your own garden, or a local farmer’s market (please support our farmers). Store-bought would be next; however, make sure they are organically grown. The final would be organic frozen veggies. Do not use canned veggies… it defeats the purpose of cooking healthy.

Step 3Besides healthy veggies the other star of this recipe is the beef bone-marrow broth. Do not use regular beef broth or stock. If you do, you will have a simple, not-so-exciting, vegetable stew. This recipe requires the deep rich flavors that only beef bone-marrow broth can bring. Besides making the stew taste amazing, the health benefits of this magical liquid have been proven over-and-over again. You can purchase bone-marrow broth at your local grocer, or you can make your own.
