Instructions: I have brought several of my rosemary plants in for the winter to grow on my sunny window sill. I use rosemary in a lot of my recipes. Fresh rosemary is wonderful in fresh baked breads, soups and in game, beef or poultry stews.

Cube or coarse dice vegetables. In a large pot heat a few Tbsp olive oil and cook and stir vegetables over high heat for a few minutes. Dredge meat in seasoned flour and add to pot and sear meat. Add water, along with bullion powder to taste or use beef broth and add dried mushrooms and rosemary. Bring all to a boil and cover and low simmer for about an hour or until vegetables as well as meat is tender. Add the peas and parsley and cook and stir several minutes longer. Correct seasonings and add vermouth if desired to taste.

Makes
