Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['gluten_free'], recipe: peel and chop the onions coarsely. chop the celery coarsely as well. peel and mince the garlic. saute the onions and celery until softened in the oil; remove them to a large stew pot. add the beef or lamb to the frying pan and cook until browned, stir in the garlic; then add the meat to the onions and celery. add the water or broth, the barley and the bay leaves to the stew pot. peel and chop all the remaining vegetables into bite-sized pieces. add them to the stew in the order given, then add the tomatoes and the spices. simmer the stew until the meat is done and the vegetables and barley are tender. add a little more water if needed. this can be made ahead; stew keeps and reheats well.

Target recipe: brown meat in oil in a large skillet. in a crockpot add enough water to cover ribs( note the store will cut them in half if you ask them to) place the ribs in the crockpot before you go to bed with all the spices and cook all night on low. in the morning pull out the ribs and pull off the meat and chop up and then return to the crock.. add the rest of the stuff and let it cook all day on low. make sure there is enough water to cover everything. a nice loaf of fresh italian bread will work nicely with this. using the ribs take a little more work but the taste is so much more than using beef cubes....
