Well, it's not the most attractive of meals I've had during this challenge. What I was most excited about in this stew were the carrots from Mililani (bought at the KCC farmers market). I didn't know anyone grew carrots for sale in Hawaii, other than Hamakua Springs Country Farms, who sometimes send the restaurant baby purple and white carrots. I know it seems silly to get excited over something as "ordinary" as carrots, but I wish I had a picture of these carrots with all their gorgeous leafy tops. The carrots, tops and all, were cooked into this Molokai beef (what else) stew with breadfruit, local onions, and Tedeschi Vineyards Ulupalulakua Red Wine. Wine might be one of those few items where local is not always better....but for the novelty and in the stew, it's decent.
It was a perfect stew day...it was stormy outside, Ben and I were home together for the first time in a while, and by the time the stew was done, it was night and a little bit chilly (for Hawaii).
