Mince the garlic. Chop the parsley or green onion and set aside. Pre-measure other seasonings and set aside\u00a0in a cup. Defrost the peas if using frozen.<\/p>\n<p>Preheat the Dutch oven. Add 1 TB water to the Dutch oven and the cut up onion, celery and carrots. Cook for 7 or 8 minutes, stirring periodically, allowing to brown slightly but not burn. Add water if needed (I didn&#8217;t find it necessary with the Dutch oven).<\/p>\n<p>Add another TB water, garlic and mushrooms and stir periodically, cooking for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Add water, tomato paste, potatoes, remaining seasonings, stir, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked.<\/p>\n<p>Remove 2 cups of liquid and blend. I actually scooped a couple of potato pieces into this to thicken the sauce a bit more. Return the blended gravy to the pot. Add the peas, and simmer for a minute or two more. Remove from heat and garnish with parsley or green onion, and serve.<\/p>\n<p>Note: In the lower right of the picture, I added a large piece of fresh turmeric (which you can see in the lower right of the picture) to see what it would do for the color and for some additional nutritional content. It didn&#8217;t seem to change the color or flavor much &#8211; I might try adding more next time &#8211; but I suspect it probably added some nice phyto-nutrients and antioxidants to the mix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got off track for awhile&#8230;other tasks.
