NO MEAT STEW

This is a great recipe. You can make it as is for a side dish or it's good enough to be a stand-alone meal, just increase the ingredients and add some bread or rice to compliment it. You can add your own favorite veggies and meat as well. My sister loves to add mushrooms to hers, and we like to add yellow and red bell peppers to ours, so feel free to experiment! That's what I really love about this recipe, it's simple, but so easy to add and it just keeps getting better!

Tips

- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your stew a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, and mushrooms. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Cumin, chili powder, and paprika are all good options for adding flavor to your stew. - Cook your stew low and slow. This will help the flavors to develop and meld together. - Serve your stew with a side of bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion

No-meat stews are a delicious and hearty meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little creativity, you can create a no-meat stew that is sure to please everyone at the table.
