| 1. If you have the time and inclination: | 2. - Brown the beef in a large skillet until seared on all sides. | 3. - You can also brown the onions if you are so inclined. | 4. If you are like me and are trying to do this at the crack of dawn before racing out the door to the bus stop and then to work start here: | 5. Plug in the crock pot. | 6. Toss in the chopped onions, garlic, carrots, squash and beef. | 7. Stir in all the spices except the fresh cilantro. | 8. Pour in the tomato sauce. | 9. Cook on LOW for 6 – 8 hours. | 10. About 15 minutes before it is going to be served or as soon as you get home: | 11. add the peas, cilantro and the olives. | 12. Stir it all up and let cook another 15 minutes or so. | 13. I served it over whole wheat couscous with a hunk of roasted garlic bread that Jeff picked up on the way home. It was a hit – everyone decided it was a keeper and that the addition of the olives (the secret ingredient) was genius. I loved the way it added a nice salty counterpart to the sweet squash. If you wanted to you could also add a bit of chicken stock to the stew at the beginning. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
