Vegan Potato Stew Ingredients

1. 1 kg Potatoes
2. 1 Chopped Onion
3. 1 Chopped Carrot
4. 1/2 Can of Chopped Tomatoes
5. 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
6. 2 Bay Leaves
7. 1 Teaspoon Salt
8. 1 Teaspoon Paprika
9. Fresh Parsley for garnish

Vegan Potato Stew Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Prep Work

Start by gathering all your ingredients and washing the potatoes thoroughly. Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Chop the onion, carrot, and parsley.

Step 2: Boiling Bliss

In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, carrot, and the contents of half a can of chopped tomatoes. Pour in enough water to cover the vegetables, creating a hearty broth. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat.

Step 3: The Heart of the Stew

Add the olive oil, bay leaves, salt, and paprika to the pot. These ingredients form the foundation of the stew, infusing it with rich flavors and aromas. Give the mixture a gentle stir to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4: Bring to a Boil

Allow the pot to come to a gentle boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and let the ingredients simmer together. This slow-cooking method allows the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a deeply satisfying stew.

Step 5: Simmer and Infuse

Let the stew simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. During this time, the vegetables will absorb the savory essence of the broth, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

Take a moment to taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You might want to add a pinch more salt or paprika to suit your personal preference. The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability – feel free to customize it to your liking.

Step 7: Garnish with Freshness

Once the stew reaches perfection, remove it from the heat. Discard the bay leaves and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top. This finishing touch adds a burst of color and a refreshing hint to the dish.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Ladle the Vegan Potato Stew into bowls, making sure to include a generous portion of vegetables and broth in each serving. Pair it with your favorite crusty bread or a side salad for a complete and wholesome meal.
