HEARTY VEGETABLE STEW RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, or until most of their juices have been released.
• Add the onions, carrots, and celery, and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until onions are semi-translucent.
• Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper, tomato paste, and soy sauce, and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until the herbs are fragrant.
• Add the flour and stir until fully incorporated. Add the wine and stir until mostly absorbed.
• Add the potatoes, vegetable broth, and bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the stew has thickened.
• Remove the bay leaves.
• Enjoy!

VEGETARIAN STEW

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add carrots, onion, and celery. Cover and cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, bay leaf, coriander, curry powder, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper; saute for 2 minutes.
• Stir in water, lentils, and tomato sauce and increase heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil; this is necessary to aid in digestion.
• Slowly add potatoes, kidney beans, canned tomatoes, and peanut butter. Cover and boil for 3 minutes longer. Reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cover and cook until all vegetables are tender and flavors have melded, about 1 hour.

SIMPLE VEGETARIAN STEW

Steps:

• Saute onion and garlic in a coating of olive oil; add the carrots and continue cooking until they are softened. Add the beans, broth, and tomatoes (breaking them up into smaller pieces in the pan). Cook on medium heat until liquid cooks down to your desired thickness, about 20-25 minutes. Season with freshly ground pepper. Serve with rice.
• Note: try to buy the carrots with the tops still on--forget the ones in the bags. The flavor difference is significant.

ROOT VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Prepare onion, garlic and rosemary. Chop potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes and turnip into bite sized pieces (1/2" to 3/4"), or whatever size you prefer.
• Heat olive oil in a medium sized pot over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute, stirring frequently to ensure no scorching. When onion starts to go translucent, add rosemary and continue to stir, 2 to 3 minutes. Rosemary should be fragrant.
• Add potato, carrot, sweet potato and turnip, and toss to coat with onion/olive oil mixture, continuing to stir for a few minutes to heat vegetables but be careful they don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
• Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover to simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Vegetables should be very tender and broth should be reduced by at least half.
• Scoop into shallow bowls and garnish with parsley. Serve with a nice Italian or multi-grain bread, and a white wine of your choice.
