Unctious - great word huh? :D

Anyway - i'm after a recipe for a stew that is dense with vegetables including lots of beans and other pulses.

I just feel like i need to eat a very healthy and stodgy stew.

I'd probably throw in some chicken too, but want the veg to be the base.

Does anyone know a recipe for such a veg + pulse stew using traditional english veg - root veg, peas, cabbages, etc.

Please don't just google - i can do that myself... something tried and tested plz.

I'm scared if i go out and buy loads of veg and chuck it in a pan and leave it for an hour or two that i'll end up with veg soup.

Thanks

  1. I don't have any specific recipes but I've got a tried and tested way of making stew.

    Take a big pot and fill it with a heap of water, garlic and dried beans and lentils - you can usually get a soup/stew mix that will have lentils, barley, split peas, beans etc. Dice some root vegetables (the bland ones) such as swede, parsnip, turnip, potato and stick them in to boil with a few cubes or teaspoons of your favourite stock. You can also add more flavourful vegetables at this stage such as carrot or pumpkin.

    As the water starts to evaporate add other vegetables (the ones that take less time to cook) such as brocolli or cauliflower.

    You can add other flavours such as worcesterchire, tabasco, fresh chilli, herbs or stir through some parmesan. Add vegies and flavours according to your taste buds.

    You'll end up with a thick, very vegie rich stew! Serve it over brown rice.

    Tip: To make sure you don't end up with a soup, don't add too much water. You can always add more as you go.


  2. I do not have any recipe. We use whatever is in the freezer or fridge.  I have had good luck finding things at allrecipe.com.  Just keep an eye on the liquid whether soup or stew.  

    Edit   It is a great place to get rid of brocolli stems.  Just peel them.

    I did not know the meaning of unctious so I looked it up.  You may need to throw in several cubes of pork fatback.
