Curried Beef Stew With Winter Squash

2 tbsp.vegetable oil
1/2 white onion (appx. 1-1 1/2 c.)
1 1/4 lb. stew beef, cubed
1 tbsp. curry powder¹
1 can chick peas (15 oz.)²
2 cans diced tomatoes (15 oz.)³
1 golden acorn squash, peeled and cubed
16 oz. beef or chicken broth⁴

Saute onions and curry powder in oil over medium high heat for 2-4 minutes, or until translucent. Add beef and cook until browned. Lower heat, and add chick peas, tomatoes, squash and broth. Cook until squash is tender.




1. If you were really cool, you could make your own curry powder. Or you could just be lazy and use McCormick's like I did.
2. I guess you could be really fancy and cook your own chickpeas. Or you could do something productive with your time.
3. See Note 2 supra.
4. Don't even get me started on making your own broth.
