[recipe] Beefless Stew

[Guest guest]

Here is a great recipe we enjoy. Don't worry if you want to

use some other type of veggie burger, tofu or seitan... you can

mix it up to suit what you have in your pantry.

 

Beefless Stew

 

4 Tbs. olive oil (divided)

1 large onion, chopped

4 medium carrots, chopped

4 medium potatoes, cubed

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 celery ribs. sliced

1 red pepper, seeded and chopped

4 Boca roasted garlic burgers, thawed and cubed

1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes

2 cups vegetable broth

2 Tbs. soy sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

1 Tbs. flour

1/2 cup water

 

Prepare vegetables, then heat 2 Tbs. of the olive oil

in a large skillet and lightly brown the onion. Add the

rest of the vegetables and saute for a few minutes.

Pour this mixture into a slow-cooker; add the diced

tomatoes, vegetable broth and soy sauce. Cook on

high for 3 hours [or low for 6 hours] until vegetables

are tender. In the same skillet that you used for the

vegetables, sautŽ the Boca burger chunks in the

remaining olive oil until lightly browned and crisp on

the outside; add to the slow-cooker.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and allow to cook

for another 20 to 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix

together the flour and water until both are blended

and smooth. Slowly stir into the stew while it cooks

to thicken the broth.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

 

Served with garlic bread and a green salad.
