Vegan Stew Recipes

VEGAN STEW

Steps:

• Add the chopped onion to the pot with the olive oil and sauté the onions until softened.
• Add in the crushed garlic, thyme, rosemary and oregano and sauté with the onions.
• Add the sliced mushrooms, diced carrots and diced celery and toss with the onions and spices. Let it cook for a few minutes until the mushrooms are slightly softened.
• Add the all purpose flour and stir it in.
• Add the vegetable stock, marinara sauce, red wine, peeled and chopped potatoes, kidney beans, tomato paste and dark soy sauce and stir in.
• Add in the bay leaves and bring it all to a simmer, cover the pot and leave to simmer, stirring from time to time, until the potatoes and veggies are soft and cooked.
• Add in the coconut sugar (optional) which helps to balance out the flavors and salt and pepper to taste (if needed).
• Serve as is or with basmati rice.

HEARTY VEGAN STEW (ONE-POT RECIPE)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and soften for 2-3 minutes.
• Next, add the carrots and celery and soften for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a good amount of salt and pepper at this point.
• Once the veg mix has softened, add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for a further 5 minutes. Stir occasionally, turning up the heat if necessary.
• Throw in the potato cubes and fry these off for 2-3 minutes.
• If you're including the red wine, pour this in and allow it to cook off for a minute or so.
• Stir in the vegan stock, Henderson's Relish, Marmite, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme. It might look like a lot of liquid right now, but it'll cook off and you're going to thicken it later on. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• After 15-20 minutes, add the wholegrain mustard, drained green lentils, and curly kale. Stir well and cook for another 6-8 minutes.
• In a jug or bowl, mix the cornflour with equal parts of cold water. Make sure that this is mixed well as it will prevent the cornflour from going lumpy in the pan. Add the mix to the stew and stir thoroughly. Cook for a few minutes to thicken, turning up the heat if necessary.
• Remove the herbs, adjust the seasoning to taste, and serve.

HEARTY VEGAN STEW

Steps:

• Preheat a heavy bottom dutch oven over medium low heat and sautee the onion and carrot in a drop of oil or a splash of water until the onion is translucent. (omit oil to be WFPB & Plantricious compliant).
• Stir in the garlic and cook a few seconds until fragrant.
• Add the jackfruit pieces, thyme, bay and the red wine. Simmer until the wine is almost evaporated. (It's very important that you allow the wine to evaporate or the stew won't taste right).
• Meanwhile whisk the flour with the vegetable stock until combined and add it to the pot with the jackfruit. Bring to a simmer and stir in the paprika and cloves.
• Cook everything together for 45 minutes until the jackfruit is fork tender.
• Stir in the gnocchi, tomatoes and green peas and cook a few extra minutes until the gnocchi float to the top and the green peas are cooked through to your liking.
• Discard the thyme sprigs and whole cloves and season the stew to your taste with sea salt and black pepper.
• Stir in the fresh parsley and serve!

VEGAN STEW

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot or dutch oven, heat 6 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the onions, carrots and celery to the pot, along with the garlic, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks start to brown.
• Add the mushrooms and turnips or rutabaga. Pour in the wine and Worcestershire sauce and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the potatoes and cover the pot.
• Make the roux: In a measuring cup, heat the broth in the microwave until it's hot. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the roux starts to darken, about 4-5 minutes. Gradually add the hot broth while whisking. Add the vinegar, molasses paprika and a dash of tabasco and whisk until smooth. Stir the roux into the stew.
• Simmer the stew, uncovered, until all the vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. If you feel the liquid is evaporating too quickly, you can cover it for a while. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread and sprinkle with parsley.

HEARTY VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Mince the carrot, celery stalk, and small onion for the roux very fine.
• Saute this mixture in 1/4 cup of veggie broth until the veggies are nice and soft.
• Add the large chopped onion and continue cooking until softened.
• It's ok if the liquid gets a little low - the brown bits add to the flavor.
• Add the mushrooms and cook on medium high until they lose their liquid.
• Season with the rosemary and italian seasoning.
• Add the wine and deglaze any brown spots in your pan. (This is the good stuff!)
• After a few minutes add the rest of the broth, the tomatoes and tomato sauce.
• Add all your chopped veggies and turn the heat up to boil.
• Add the rest of the seasonings - but not the cornstarch.
• Once it's boiling, turn down the heat to low and add the peas.
• Mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir this in to thicken.
• Simmer to desired consistency.

HEARTY VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Add the olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, celery, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7-9 minutes or until the onion is softened. Add the garlic, black pepper, and fresh herbs, and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Add the flour slowly while stirring the vegetables to coat them with it. Once all of the flour is added, cook for about 1 minute while constantly stirring. Very slowly add the white wine and vegetable broth, about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring continuously so that the liquid and flour are incorporated with no lumps.
• Stir in the potato, sweet potato, tomato paste, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, liquid smoke, and marmite. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and stew is thickened, 20-30 minutes.
• Stir in the frozen peas and red wine vinegar, and cook for another 5 minutes or until peas are warm. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and additional vinegar if desired. Serve hot.

VEGAN WINTER STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pot over a medium heat. Add the carrots and shallots, then increase the heat and cook for 6 minutes until slightly caramelized and brown. Add the mushrooms, bay leaves and fresh thyme, and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle over the flour and mix to combine, then pour in the red wine. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring now and then, until the wine is reduced by half, roughly 3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetable stock and miso paste and mix to combine. Season to taste with salt and a generous amount of black pepper.
• Transfer to the oven with the lid on and cook for 40 minutes, until the carrots have softened. Top with fresh parsley. Stew will keep in the fridge 3 days, or in the freezer for 3 months.
