Vegetable stew: leeks, carrots, celery, mushrooms, shallots, sautéed in olive oil until caramelized and melted, with organic apple-wood bacon, smoky apricot tea for broth, and when all returned to a low boil, added quartered purple potatoes and black beans, with a healthy dose of Thai green curry....A bowl of that, with a glass of Merlot, and I was a happy girl!
Elle*, who loves the autumn!
