Apple and Bean Stew?

This is easy, and delicious. Especially if you like apples in your curry, and if you like curry and beans. (Did you know that the curry powder you have in your spice rack is actually a mixture of different spices? Yep. Check the ingredient list out. So if you feel adventurous, mix some spices together and make your own personal curry! Once upon a time, when ACDC had a huge assortment of spices by the stir-fry, I was able to do just that. )

Let's get to it.

Ingredients:

• Curry powder, spices, garlic powder, cayenne pepper... etc.
• Oil
• An onion, chopped
  
• Minced garlic (optional)
• 1 or 2 can of beans
• Vegetable or chicken broth (optional)
• Lemon juice (optional)
  
• 2 apples
• Carrots, peas, squash, anything you think would taste good
  
• Ham (optional)
  
• Coconut milk (a dash, also optional)

Directions:

1. Fry the chopped onion and optional garlic in some oil in a saucepan. Blend in the spices, and fry the onion until it's soft, or transparent.
   
2. Mix in the beans (if you want you don't have to drain them - use the beanliquid instead of broth), apples, other vegetables, and lemon juice if you feel so inclined.
   
3. Stir, and cook without cover until the consistency you'd like to have. Add more spices if you deem it fit. Put in some coconut milk or cream if you want a creamier curry/stew.
   
4. Cook until apples are soft.
5. Serve with rice.
