    In small bowl, mix cornstarch and water; gradually stir into stew until blended. Increase heat setting to High; cover and cook about 20 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  • Parsnips, root vegetables that look like creamy white carrots, have a slightly sweet flavor. If you don't have any on hand, you can use carrots instead.
  • Enjoy this meatless meal with a loaf of crusty Italian bread. Hot coffee and pie provide a sweet ending.
  • Sprinkle the stew with chopped fresh chives or thyme leaves and shredded Parmesan cheese.
