Vegetable Stew ‘Ishtu’
This is the Vegetable Stew ‘Ishtu’recipe my mom made a long time ago at a potluck that had people talking about and asking for the recipe for weeks. She used tapioca and parsley leaves in the recipe and they seemed to really be the stars of the show. I have made it many a time with success and now I’d like to share it with you.
