Stand-alone vs. Phone Camera

Spicy White Bean Stew With Broccoli
This is an extremely flexible stew can use up much of what you’ve got on hand. It’s vegetarian by nature, but feel free to start the pot with sausage if you’re feeling more carnivorous. Has a great range of consistencies and flavours that will keep most people guessing but in a good way. Time: 40…
