Greek meat stew made with little onions is what this is. Every Fall, without fail, you could smell my mom’s recipe for this dish simmering in the kitchen. Large bowl of mashed potatoes should be served with it. The finishing touches on this lunch are, of course, a Greek salad, some feta and olives, and some crusty bread. Cleaning the onions can take some effort, but it will be well worth it when your family settles down to eat.

This was easy and very flavorful. I doubled the ingredients as referenced by other reviewers. I did not have peanut butter so I used almond butter. Very delicious I will make it again!
Very tasty. I Cut the garlic in half, and added diced chicken.
Made the recipe exactly as mentioned. My husband loved it. Next time I may a little extra sauce. It was really good!!
Less sugar
tried this as a side dish to my curried chicken with rice and peas Sunday dinner. kids loved it and i will be making it again. i did it with California mix and baby cabbages.
Good flavor, very easy to make. The sauce should probably be doubled, maybe because I had rice also. Not going to make the rotation, but it’s a quick, simple dish that you can make in a time crunch. Could use a little spice.
Loved this recipe. I used fresh vegetables instead of frozen and also added some crushed red pepper for a little kick. Served over brown rice. The sauce is a great base for any stir fry.
The flavour exceeded my expectations given the simplicity of the recipe. I doubled the sauce.
Wow this was a big hit tonight!! I did change it a bit, sauteed chicken in olive oil with garlic and one onion, then added the frozen veggies and sauteed them till tender and stirred in the sauce (used crunchy peanut butter for added crunch). Put it all over white rice and served! Just yummy! Will use brown rice next time! This is a must try recipe, with almost everything you need in your pantry! A+++
I just made this recipe and I absolutely loved it!!! This is my new go to recipe for sure. I added chicken and it was delicious!!!! Thank you
This recipe is so easy especially for those nights you really don’t feel like cooking. And best yet it is items everyone has in there home. I added frozen and fresh veggies worked out perfectly. I doubled recipe. Absolutely loved it all around. Was so tasty!! Will definitely make again.
Used a bag of frozen Asian vegetables and also added a can of baby corn. Doubled the sauce ingredients. Would have been dry without doing so.
Super quick and tasty.. threw in some cooked ramen style noodles and chicken. Whole family, including picky kids, loved it!
Delish recipe! The sauce is great. I prepared the recipe a little differently. I made a pot of rice and set aside. I sautéed some frozen shrimp in a little butter with a sprinkle of garlic salt and set that aside, too. Then I followed the recipe, using 6 oz of frozen onions/peppers and 16 oz of frozen normandy vegetables. I used sauce recipe as stated but I did add 1/2 tsp of sesame oil. Stir fried vegetables just like recipe, tossed in the shrimp then added the sauce and folded together. Served it over the rice. Outstanding! Only thing I would do different is double that fantastic sauce.
This was easy and great! Needed a bit extra salt and pepper and sesame oil but yum.
I also made this 2 nights in a row. So easy. Appreciate recipes that don’t require buying ingredients I may never use again. The only substitutions were leaving out the peanut butter yesterday (added Spam to it-his choice) and using peanut oil rather than olive oil both times. Chicken was great in this, over white rice; increased the sauce by 50%. Yum! Keeper.
Delicious!! So we added cubed chicken breast and noodles,knowing this I doubled the sauce recipe to cover everything EXCEPT the garlic powder I only did 1 tsp.Threw some sesame seeds on it and little egg rolls as a side.It was so easy my 3 year old helped me with 95% of it.She was so proud of the dinner she cooked and it was so good and low cost..definitely going into the dinner rotation.
Really good basic recipe using things you already have in the pantry. I had real garlic so I used that in the sauce instead of powder. I am a big fan of Asian food and had some oyster sauce and added about 2T since I doubled the recipe. I liked a little spice so I heated 2 chiles de arbol in the oil before adding the veggies, water chestnuts and some onion. I like the sauce a little thicker so a little cornstarch helped it cling nicely. Served with rice and it was a hit! Thanks for the recipe!
The sauce is so good. Definitely tastes Asian. I used a bag of frozen California Mix.
Made it with beef, so good!
Easy and tasty..make it all the time.
