Pita Chips
Directions:
1. Coat beef with flour, shaking off excess. In a large nonstick stock pot, heat oil over
medium-high heat, add beef and saute until brown, approximately 6 minutes. Remove
beef from stock pot and set aside.
2. Add onions and mushrooms to stock pot and saute for 6 minutes. Add garlic and
saute for 1 minute, continually stirring.
3. Skim off fat any fat from the stock pot and return cooked beef to pot; stir in tomato
paste and broth. Add enough water to just cover ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer until beef is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
4. Skim off any foam that has accumulated on the surface of stew and add carrots,
potatoes and green beans. Cover partially and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. In a small mixing bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water. Stir mixture into stew.
Increase heat and boil uncovered for 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
These baked pita
chips make a lovely
accompaniment to
any dip or spread.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the baking mix,
cheese, and water. Mix until dough is firm.
Using a small scoop, place dough on the
prepared pan.
3. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10
to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Combine the melted butter, garlic powder,
salt, onion powder and parsley. Brush over
baked biscuits immediately upon removing from
oven.
