Quick Winter Stew

Ingredients:

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 lb boneless pork loin or leg, cut in narrow strips

1 3/4 cup water

1 pkg Knorr Demi-Glace

Sauce Mix

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp dried thyme (optional)

3 cups cubed (1/2 inch, 1 cm) mixed vegetables (e.g. carrot, potato, cauliflower, winter squash, turnip, parsnip.)

chopped fresh parsley (optional

Directions:
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork and stir fry until golden brown; remove and set aside. Reduce heat. Add water, whisk in Knorr Demi-Glace Sauce mix, mustard, and thyme and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Stir in vegetables; cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Return pork to skillet and heat through. Serve, sprinkled with parsley if desired, and with a hearty multi-grain bread.

Tip: Substitute lean beef or lamb for pork. As an extra time saver, substitute frozen mixed vegetable pieces for fresh vegetables; cook 5 minutes or until tender.
