Preparation
Stews are so warm and comforting, aren’t they? They’re also easy, one-pot cooking. It’s also a plus that they reheat well.
Directions:
- In a large dutch oven or an oven safe pot with a lid, saute the onions and bell pepper on medium to medium-high heat with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. It helps to cover the pot. Add a little water if you don’t want to use too much oil to steam-saute them. Once the pepper and onions are soft, add the potatoes, garlic, chickpeas, white beans, tomatoes, vegetable broth, wine/vermouth, sugar, dried herbs, spices, bay leaves, and more salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil. Immediately turn down the heat, simmer, covered for about 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. After 5 minutes of stovetop simmering, place the pot in the oven and cook for an additional 30-40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. When the stew is finished cooking, remove bay leaves. Adjust the salt and pepper. Also add a pinch more of dried oregano, mint and cinnamon. Serve with any of the suggestions listed in serving options above. Enjoy!
