Country Stew

== Description ==
A countrified combination of real meat and vegetables is made with soup stock, cooked to white-hot perfection, and served with other dishes. You can make this with real herbs and other slices of meat while cooking.
==Ingredients==
* 2 tbsp. pure vegetable oil
* 1 ½ lbs. pork shoulder, cubed
* 1 ½ lbs beef roast, cubed
* 1 cup potatoes, cubed
* ½ cup carrots, cubed
* ½ cup celery, sliced
* 1 onion, chopped, white or yellow only
* 1 clove garlic 
* 1 ½ cup soup stock
* 2 cups water, hot or lukewarm only
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 3 tbsp. parsley, chopped, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnishing if desired
* 5 tsp. ground red pepper, optional
* 1 tsp. ground black pepper
* ¼ cup all-purpose flour
== Directions ==
# Heat oil in a large skillet or soup kettle. Brown meat over medium heat. 
# Add potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, soup stock, 1 ½ of the water, salt, parsley, and ground black pepper.
# Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 1 ½ hours or until meat is tender. Combine flour, ground red pepper (optional), and the remaining ½ cup of water in a screw-top jar.
# Shake to blend. Slowly stir into meat mixture.
# Cook to desired thickness. Serve hot and plain or with other main dishes but scoop or spoon some of the red-hot stew into a large bowl and top with the remaining parsley, if desired.
