Hearty Vegan Summer Stew Recipes

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!

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.
