GYPSY STEW Makes 4 servings. This stew is even better made a day ahead, then reheated. If planning to make it ahead, wait and add the rice when reheating it. This keeps the rice from getting hard. INGREDIENTS - 8 oz. lean ground turkey breast or beef - 1 Tbsp. canola oil - 1 small onion, chopped - 1 garlic clove, finely chopped - 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped - 1 cup corn kernels, frozen or canned - 1 can (15 oz.) kidney beans, rinsed and drained - 2 (or 3, as desired) cups cooked brown rice - 1 can (15 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained - Salt and freshly ground black pepper - 1/4 cup firmly packed cilantro leaves, chopped DIRECTIONS Coat a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium-high heat. Cook meat until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Transfer meat to a bowl, and set aside. Wipe out pan. Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion, garlic and pepper until onion is translucent, 4 minutes. Add corn, beans, rice and tomatoes. Return meat to pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is heated through. Mix in cilantro and serve.
