When I'm looking for recipes, I usually go to Epicurious and look up the 
term, then see if there are any recipes.

Here's the URL for the EPICURIOUS DICTIONARY.  Bookmark it, it's great!

http://www.epicurious.com/db/dictionary/terms/indexes/dictionary.html

In this case, this URL will get you 15 recipes, and the New Orleans
Vegetable Stew looks like something you might like.  I haven't tried it,
but it has a pretty good pedigree.

Here's that URL:
