In a large heavy pan, saute onions in oil over medium high until translucent, stirring frequently. Add garlic and stir for 3-4 minutes. Add everything else and mix well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The potato pieces should be tender. If stew gets too thick, add water.
