Chicken and Green Pea Stew
Chicken and Green Pea Stew or the Romanian "Mancare mazare cu pui", a hearty but light dish that is full of colour and goodness. As a child I absolutely loved this food, and so do my children now too. It's quick and easy to make, it's healthy, and it can be cooked with fresh or frozen ingredients from scratch.
