Tayleea Cheecha (Romulan Beef and Fruit Stew)

I found this dish verey good, and being I'm a Huge Romulan fan enjoyed the Name:) I have maed this dish 3 times twice i changed it, as I realy dont like apricots, I used Dried Peach Halves once and Dried Necturien Halves once, I myslef prefer the pech halves. Either way the dish is quit good, all the ingredents go well together. Of course I washed it down with some Romulan Ale.
