Soups & Stews

I live on the west coast (USA). In practical terms, this means I can go into any grocery store and buy taro root and bok choy, but so help me if I want okra. Even kosher organic skinless boneless chicken isn't that hard to come by. (Thank you Trader Joe's®!) This recipe is what happens when I get fed up looking for ingredients for a more traditional stew out of the Rival Crock-pot® cookbook and run with whatever's out there. It's pretty good! If you like taro root and want to use more of it, substitute out potatoes by weight. Taro is a root vegetable that is common to oceanic cuisines around the world. You may be more familiar with it as a gourmet "potato" chip.
