This was so, so delicious!!!!! I have never had a vegetarian green chile that was so satisfying!!! Really amazing. But..... 2 cups of flour with 1/2 cup water for the thickener?!?!? Is it just me or does that make more of a dumpling than a rue? I didn't realize that at first so I wasted 2 cups of flour. Mixed it up again with a little flour and water then added to the stew and it was great. Thank you so so much for this new staple in my kitchen!
