>no bay leaves (x2)
Could have used some bay leaves, forgot. I just moved back from Florida and have been buying spices as I need them.
>no corn starch to thicken up after stew done
Won’t need thickened because I’m cooking it very slow. The flour I dredged the meat in should be enough.
>no frozen peas
I do have frozen peas, that’s the last step
>no tomato paste (superior to diced tomatoes)
I opted for diced tomatoes because I’m not using vinegar or red wine and wanted the acidity or whole tomatoes over paste

I’m braising the meat covered for 2 hours or so then I’ll add the rest of the vegetables and reduce uncovered.
