While my recipe does say to put the fresh tomatoes in the blender (not canned) - I sometimes don't - I chop them up and add them in when I reduce the sauce.
Yeah, the Browning is a pretty key ingredient - PickAPeppa is just not the same flavor.
I personally do not "sweeten" my Brown Stew with ketchup or brown sugar (the person who's "recipe" I originally learned used brown sugar) - I prefer to lightly sweeten it with the sliced carrots.
Brown Stew - Tofu? Can't be bad, right?
