Dutch Oven Vegetable Stew

SimonDeaneHealth
A healthy and comforting vegetable stew. Flavoured with a mix of herbs and low in calories. 
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 6 large bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 600 g potatoes
  • 120 g kale
  • 1 400 g can of cannellini beans
  • 1 litre of vegetable stock I choose a low sodium one
  • 120 g mushrooms
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 2 small onions or one large
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 sprig of fresh thyme of 1 tsp of dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 small bunch of fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Add the peeled and chopped onion, chopped celery and peeled and finely chopped garlic to a pot on a high heat. Stir regularly for a few minutes until the onions start to soften. If things start to stick to the side of the pot, add a splash of water. 
  • Add the chopped mushrooms and peeled and chopped carrots. Turn the heat down a little and continue to stir regularly for another 2-3 minutes. The mushrooms should start to release some water, but add a splash to the pan if things start to stick. 
  • Prepare the vegetable stock with boiling water, and add to the pot. Add the peeled and chopped potatoes to the pot, along with the drained cannellini beans. 
  • Strip the kale away from any tough stems and chop roughly. Add to the pot (not including the stems)
  • Add the tomato puree and vinegar to the pot along with the thyme, bay leaves, and rosemary. 
  • Bring the pot to a boil and then turn down to a gentle simmer for around 20 - 25 minutes until the potatoes are fully cooked and you can stick a fork through them without any resistance. 
  • Stir in the chopped parsley reserving a few leaves for garnish if you wish. 
  • Serve in bowls and season with a little salt and pepper if desired.
