This smokey & flavorful Spanish style stew is very comforting when its really cold out. Its a quick and easy one pot dish that can be made for dinner even on your busiest day. I chop all the veggies ahead of time and store in baggies in the fridge, for an even easier weekday meal. Serve over some hot and steamy rice. If you like heat; add some Cholula hot sauce. Avocado pieces make a creamy garnish that pairs well with this meal.
Saucy & Filled with Flavor!

I love this quick comfort meal! I actually make this often. Sometimes I use Goya’s Sofrito or Recaito as a substitute to chopping up peppers on my own.
Amera,I have never used the Sofrito or Recaito. How does it compare in calories and points? I’ll have to look for it next time at the grocery store….thanks for the tip
