Cooking with Extension: Edamame Stew


by by Original Author: JoAnn Vann, Clark County | Adapted for Blog: Torrie Smith, Van Buren County

Combine those fresh garden goodies to make an unforgettable dish!  Edamame Stew is a nutrient packed meatless recipe that can be served as a main course or side dish using vegetables grown in Arkansas.  Try it over brown rice, a whole grain, for additional fiber.
