Flavourful Roasted Vegan veggies Stew
This Flavourful Roasted Veggies Vegan Stew is my interpretation of a traditional winter stew. It’s warming, comforting and loaded with winter flavours and meaty textures…and it’s completely vegan, although no one would ever guess it. Thanks to the hearty wild flavours of the mushrooms and their meat-like texture this healthy vegan vegetable stew turned into an instant family favourite. It’s made with simple and budget friendly ingredients like carrots, red onions, mushrooms, beans, canned tomatoes and lots and lots of spices.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 5 cups (500g) Mushrooms Mixed or your favorite type, chopped
- 2 pounds Carrots ½ inch slices
- 4 Red Onions Sliced into wedges
- 1 tbsp Dried Thyme
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 tbsp Dried Basil
- ½ tsp Ground Cumin
- 3 cloves Garlic Minced
- 1 15oz can Red Kidney Beans Rinsed and drained
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce or Tamari
- 1 tbsp Sambal Oelek Chili paste
- 1 15oz can Tomato sauce or canned chopped tomatoes
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Pour the sliced carrots and onion wedges onto the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, dried thyme and paprika. Combine everything and roast the carrots in the oven for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
- While the carrots and onions are cooking, heat a large pan and add the rinsed and chopped mushrooms. Season with smoked paprika and salt and cook at medium high heat, letting the mushrooms sweat. Once the water released from the mushrooms have been absorbed, turn the heat down to a simmer and let the mushrooms cook a few more minutes. Once the carrots are golden and starting to turn crispy in places, take them out of the oven and add them to the pan with the mushrooms. Add minced garlic, kidney beans, soy sauce, ground cumin, dried basil and sambal oelek (chili paste) and mix everything together to combine. Let the chili cook for 1-2 minutes before adding tomato paste. Stir everything to combine and let it come to a quick boil. Add extra seasoning and water if needed and serve.
