Vegan Veggie Stew: This veggie stew recipe is yet another simple yet satisfying recipe from Dr. Joe Fuhrman's Eat to the Live cookbook. All the recipes in this book are plant-based and almost oil-free.
I made few changes to create my own version of the vegan veggie stew to use the vegetables I had in my refrigerator.
This easy to make veggie stew can be made in no time on busy weekday nights when you want a healthy, wholesome dinner in less than an hour.
By the time you can decide to order pizza and wait for it to be delivered, you can make this vegetarian stew recipe if you have all the vegetables prepared and ready to go.
It goes well with a slice of toasted whole wheat bread or good just by itself.
If you are not using canned beans, soak the beans overnight and cook it. Keep it ready to use it in the stew recipe.
Any beans of your choice can be used. Similarly whatever vegetables you have in hand can be included in this versatile vegetable stew recipe.
