3 tbsp brown sugar

Recipe
Preparation
This recipe was reduced from the original which was intended for
about 100 people, and called for 15 pounds of potatoes, 5 gallons of
water and other ingredients in the same grandiose proportions. The
above combination may be varied at will; just remember to use beer
instead of water to improve the flavours.
Combine the Cubed Veggies with the Miscellaneous stuff and cook until
the veggies are done.
Add the beef and cook another 5 minutes at low simmer.
Finally, add the Roux, stir well and cook over medium heat about 15
minutes.
To make the Roux, which is a thickening agent used around the world
and named by the French, you heat the oil on medium heat and add the
flour. Stirring constantly, slowly brown the mixture without burning
until it turns a nice chocolatey brown. Slowly add in the cold water,
stirring constantly until the consistency is smooth. When required,
add to the stew and blend in well with the thinner liquid. The 15
minutes at medium heat causes the flour to absorb a lot of the liquid
and thicken the stew.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet hints and tips
In deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Eliminating carbs could mean missing out on essential nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which must be part of any well-balanced diet, in particular those that we get from vegetables, fruits and grains.
Increased consumption of animal-based products could lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the risk of coronary problems.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, onions and spring onions)
The onion, leek and garlic family is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is not enough, hard medical proof available, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to reduce the symptoms of colds, sterilization and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your weight loss program.
