Ingredients
- 3 tbsp vegan butter (or olive oil)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 lb mushrooms, sliced (shiitake and cremini recommended)
- ¾ tsp dried thyme
- ¾ tsp dried rosemary
- ¾ tsp sea salt and black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (or all-purpose flour or gluten-free blend)
- 2 tsp tamari (or soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 lb baby potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 (15 oz.) cans white beans (drained and rinsed, such as cannellini)
- 2 cups dairy-free milk (plain, unsweetened, almond or other non-dairy milk)
For Serving:
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat vegan butter (or olive oil) in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and sauté for a few minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for 7-10 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the cornstarch, coating the vegetables, then add tamari and Dijon mustard. Stir again.
- Add the vegetable broth and potatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the white beans and dairy-free milk. Continue simmering uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the stew thickens and the vegetables are tender. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve warm, garnished with parsley and freshly cracked black pepper, if desired.
Notes
- Add greens like spinach, kale, or chard for extra nutrients.
- For heat, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
- Swap white beans for navy beans or chickpeas for variety.
