Bean And Vegetable Stew Vegan Recipes

VEGAN CASSOULET (WHITE BEAN AND VEGETABLE STEW)

Steps:

• Pour a shallow layer of vegetable broth into a soup pot and heat. Sauté onion and garlic over high heat until onions start to become translucent, about 2 minutes.
• Add carrots, celery, and remaining broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to medium, cover, and keep cooking until carrots are softer but still firm, about 5 minutes.
• Add half of the thyme and parsley, followed by the tomato and tomato paste, stirring to combine.
• Continue to cook until carrots are fork tender and soft, but not mushy or not falling apart, about 4 more minutes.
• Stir in beans (with liquid) until well combined and add the remaining thyme and parsley. Reduce heat to low and cook for another minute or two, just to warm the beans up a bit.
• Stir and taste, adding salt and black pepper if desired. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a thyme sprig.

BUTTER BEAN STEW WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F.
• Cover the bottom of the casserole dish with oil and scatter the vegetables and garlic on top.
• Whisk the marinade ingredients together and pour over the top, then use a spatula to mix it all together and get all of the vegetables nicely coated. Arrange them so they aren't overlapping too much at the bottom of the pan.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes, removing once halfway through to mix up and flip the vegetables around. Your veggies may need closer to 60 minutes to get properly caramelized if you've overloaded the pan a little (as I usually do!)
• Once they are ready (you want them fully softened with crispy edges and all of the marinade evaporated from the bottom of the pan), remove from the oven and very quickly add in the Italian herbs and smoked paprika. Mix through with the spatula. The residual heat and oil will bring out the herb's scent and flavors without risk of burning them.
• Once fragrant, quickly add the red wine to the pan. It will bubble for a few moments.
• Once the wine has stopped bubbling, add the tomatoes, passata, butter beans and olives. Give it all a good stir.
• Now cover the pan and return to the oven for another 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and mix the spinach and mint in. It will start to wilt from the residual heat of the stew.
• Serve.

MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLE STEW WITH BEANS

Steps:

• In a large pot heat up 3 tablespoons of the oil, add the garlic, onion and bay leaf and fry slowly for 3 minutes until softened. Add the wine, stir and cook for another minute. Add the eggplant and squash and cook for 5 minutes stirring often.
• Add the beans (along with the water from the can), tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato puree, herbs, stock and a little seasoning, stir, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Stir in the zucchini and pepper, cover and continue simmering for 15-20 more minutes or until all the vegetables are cooked through. Remove from the heat, adjust the seasoning as necessary and serve.

Steps:

• Sort and rinse beans, then soak overnight in water.
• Drain beans and place in crockpot.
• Add vegetable juice, wine, soy sauce, and apple or pineapple juice.

• The juice adds just a tad of sweetness and the soy sauce adds depth and the tang of salt.
• Cook at high for 2 hours.
• Add vegetables, herbs, and spices, and cook for 5-6 hours at low until carrots and parsnips are tender.
• When tender, add rice or pasta and cook for one additional hour.
• NOTES: For beans use 3 or 4 kinds, such as: black, red kidney, pinto, baby lima, lentil, and green and/or yellow split peas.

• Cover and cook until all vegetables are tender, about 8 1/2 hours.

WHITE BEAN AND VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Pick over beans, discarding any stones or broken beans, and rinse. Place in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by 2 inches, and bring to a strong boil. Remove from heat, and let stand 1 hour, covered. (Alternatively, beans can be placed in a bowl, covered with 2 inches of cold water, and soaked overnight.)
• Drain beans, place them in the saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Tie peppercorns in a small piece of cheesecloth, and add to beans along with bay leaves and onion slices. Return the mixture to heat, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer until beans are very tender, 35 to 40 minutes, adding 1 teaspoon salt about 10 minutes before beans are finished cooking. Remove from heat, set aside, and let beans cool in their liquid. They can be cooked and refrigerated in their liquid up to 2 days in advance.
• Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with cold water. Cut lemons in half, squeeze juice into water, and add lemon halves. Trim about 1/2 inch from tips of artichokes, and pull off tough outer leaves. Trim stems to 1/2 inch, and trim off dark green outer layer of stem. Slice artichokes in half lengthwise if small or in quarters if large. Use a small sharp knife to remove the purple choke from artichokes -- if the choke is not purple, it is not necessary to remove it. Place prepared artichokes in the bowl of lemon water. Set aside.
• Remove basil leaves from stems, discard stems, and wash leaves thoroughly. Drain and lay leaves out on paper towels, blotting away as much water as possible. Place basil in the bowl of a food processor, add 4 tablespoons olive oil, and process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer puree to a small bowl, cover immediately with plastic wrap to prevent discoloration, and refrigerate until needed.
• Cut leeks into 1/2-inch rounds, and place in a large bowl of cold water. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to rid them of any dirt and sand. Lift out of the water, and drain in a colander.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and cook until fragrant and tender, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Drain artichokes, discarding the liquid and lemons, and add to leeks along with wine. Cover, and cook until artichokes begin to become tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover, and cook until liquid evaporates and artichokes are tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, cut radicchio heads into 1-inch wedges without removing the core; it will hold the leaves together. Drain cooked beans, reserving cooking liquid. Remove and discard bay leaves, onion slices, and peppercorns. Add beans, 2 cups of the cooking liquid, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper to leeks and artichokes. Cook until beans are heated through and liquid has thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in radicchio wedges, and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the basil puree. Serve immediately with the remaining basil puree on the side.
