Heat oil. Saute garlic and onions. Remove. Mix flour, salt, pepper.

Dredge

meat and brown well. Return onion to pot. Add dill weed, wine, and consomme.

Cover tightly and simmer about 2 hours or until meat is tender. Cook artichokes 1 minute less than package directions. Add to meat. Add mushrooms. Mix gently. Taste for seasoning. Pour into 2½ quart casserole.

Crown with biscuits (brush with butter and parmesan cheese). Bake 15 to 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

Note: I usually cook the stew in the pot, add canned artichokes (not marinated) with the mushrooms, simmer until the mushrooms are done, and serve

with french bread. Eliminates the frozen artichodes, canned biscuits, and baking.
