A stew from a land down under

I got home last night to discover that dinner had already been made. As befitted the extremely cold weather, it was a thick, warming, and hearty Australian bean and kale stew -- so hearty, in fact, that had it been a person, it would have slapped you on the back, bought you a pint, and then spent a couple of hours telling you all about the local huntin', shootin', and fishin'. After another large bowl for lunch, there are now 2 bags of it in the freezer, ready for any cold days in the future. Good stuff.
