Hobgoblin Stew

Directions

On plate, combine flour, salt and pepper; set aside.

Cut meat into bite-size cubes, then roll in flour mixture to coat.

Reserve flour mixture.

Heat vegetable oil in saucepan set on stove top over medium-low heat.

Add meat and brown, stirring occasionally with mixing spoon, then sprinkle in remaining flour mixture.

Add onion; cook until limp.

Add water, garlic powder, thyme and coriander; bring to boil.

Cover and cook over low heat 1 hour.

After 1 hour, add potatoes, carrots and additional water as needed.

Cover and cook 10 minutes. Add peas and continue to cook about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Stir in evaporated milk. Heat through, but do not boil.

To serve, pour into hollowed-out pumpkin shell decorated to look like a spooky jack-o'-lantern.
