Vegetable Stew
SERVINGS: 6-8
PREPARATION TIME: 45 mins.
COOKING TIME: 2 hrs.
5 medium potatoes, cut in large cubes (unpeeled)
1 lb. boiling onions, or 2 round onions cut in wedges
2-3 carrots, cut in 1/2-inch rounds
1/2 lb. mushrooms, cut in half
2 medium zucchini, cut in half, then sliced 1 inch thick
1/2 lb. green beans, cut in 1-inch pieces
2 1/2 cups tomato juice mixed with 1/4 cup tamari (salt-reduced)
Place potatoes, onions, carrots, and beans in a large casserole dish. Pour about 2/3 of the tomato juice mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle with a little paprika and basil. Put covered casserole in oven at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 hours. Remove from oven and add mushrooms, zucchini, and the rest of the tomato juice mixture. Sprinkle a little more paprika and basil on the top. Return to oven for 30 minutes longer.
HELPFUL HINTS: Serve with fresh bread or brown rice. Vegetables may be stirred from time to time during cooking to make sure they are all coated with juice mixture. To make a thicker sauce before serving, remove vegetables to serving bowl. Put liquid in a pan, heat to boiling, and add a small amount of arrowroot and water mixture until desired thickness is obtained (try 3 tbsp. arrowroot or cornstarch in 1/2 cup cold water). Pour over vegetables.

I had done an advanced search of the forum here using the same keywords, without success.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your time and trouble!
I cannot manage a 160-mile round trip to retrieve my cookbooks right now.
I made this stew all the time when I first adopted the program, and it always helps me a lot when I need to reform my diet.

It's just nice to find people who 1) remember those older books and 2) still uses the old recipes.
Have you visited the Store section of this website? Dr. McDougall had recently gotten hold of someone's copy of his original hand-out booklet that he gave his patients in Hawaii]
