Vegan Hearty Green Bean Potato Stew – that’s packed full of flavor, it’s the ultimate comfort food. The stew has plenty of spices and vegetables in it.
I grew up eating loads of potatoes. We always had potatoes in the house, so a lot of potatoes were cooked. Green beans were grown by my grandmother in the garden, so she used to make a hearty green bean and potato stew.
Today, I have replicated this traditional recipe and made it better & healthier.
In one serving of this stew, you get 3 out of your 5 a day. It’s a bowl full of comfort and goodness. I used the whole seed of the spices, toasted them, and ground them myself. A lot more flavor is released and it’s so much better grinding your own spices. If you can spare the extra effort to do it yourself, you won’t regret it.
I used pestle and mortar to ground the toasted spices, but you can be a little techier and use an automatic one. Either way, the choice is yours.
How To Make Green Bean Potato Stew:
You will only need several simple ingredients and loads of spices!
Toast the spice seeds for 1 minute. Be careful not to burn them. Grind them afterward using a pestle and mortar together with the rock salt, paprika, chili powder. Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a deep pan, then add the garlic and onion. Cook for 4/5 minutes until translucent.
Add the tomato paste and spices, then cook for another 2 minutes.
Add all the rest of the veggies and cook everything for 2 more minutes, then add the stock, bay leaves, and thyme.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer for about 27 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender. Season with salt to taste. When the stew is done, remove tree bay leaves and thyme.
