How timely! I'm making stew tonight. I'll try this recipe.

Sounds delish! I've never used tapioca in stew before though.

I have everything but the tapioca. It looks delish. My MIL used tapioca in her stew. Does that thicken it a bit?

Yes, it does thicken it, Dotsie.

I also make veal stew with stewed tomatoes that is very good. I'm a soup and stew kind of gal anyhow.
