GREEK YOGURT SAUCE with CUMIN & HONEY, OPTIONAL (omit for Vegan & Whole30)

- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- STEW In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil over MEDIUM HIGH until shimmery. Add the onion, garlic and ginger as they’re prepped, stirring to coat with fat with each addition. Stir in the spices and let cook for 2 – 3 minutes. Add remaining vegetables as they’re prepped. Season generously. Reduce heat to MEDIUM, cover and let cook for 10 – 15 minutes until the vegetables are done but crisp-tender. Adjust seasoning and serve. Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Can be served hot or cold.
- GREEK YOGURT SAUCE Stir together sauce ingredients and drizzle over stew.
