Looks Delish!

Chile powder can be substituted for Merquen with similarly wonderful results.

I made mine with three desert spoon of rice but you can use more or less depending how much you like rice. It added a nice gooey texture to the stew.

3 "spoonfuls" of rice. About how much? Is that a teaspoon, tablespoon, soup spoon? I'll even take the amount in grams.

Thanks Canida! I made it last night. It tasted great It was even more delicious sneaking the last small bowl for breakfast this morning! Why do stews always taste better the next day? Should add it serves 4 (next time i'll double it to have some more leftovers for the next day)
