PT's Anasazi Bean and Vegetable Stew (Crock Pot Recipe) ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

Okay, here it is. This is what I created in my crock-pot yesterday.

I am eating a bowlful of it cold right now for lunch as I type; it is

sooooo good. Everyone in my home raved over it, even my

more-than-fussy-vegetable-loathing 13 yo loved it!

This was pleasing but also shocked me. All day he kept saying

stuff like, " ya know mom, for a vegetarian food that smells really

appetizing... I might just have to try a bowl " . *lol* He is such a pip.

This stew is spicy like a chili, but the taters and zucchs give it a

more veggie stew quality. Now if you can't get dried Anasazi beans,

just sub in some pintos... and if you don't like too much spice just

cut down on the spices I listed. Oh, and if you can't find soyrizo,

go ahead and use whatever veg-crumbles TVP etc you do have,

but I gotta say soyrizo rocks. Enjoy!

 

Anasazi Bean and Vegetable Stew (Crock Pot Recipe)

 

3 cups cooked Anasazi beans

1 1/2 cups vegetable stock

2 medium potatoes, skins on and diced

2 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 can (10 oz.) diced tomatoes with green chilies

2 stalks celery, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 large onion, chopped fine

1 Tbs. peanut oil

1/2 package soyrizo (veggie chourizo)

 

seasonings:

1 tsp. celtic salt

1 tsp. smoked paprika

1 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. garlic granules

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

 

 

Add beans, vegetable stock, potatoes, zucchini and tomatoes

to the crock-pot; put settings on high.

In a soup pot, saute the celery, pepper, onions, and soyrizo in

the peanut oil until the veggie start to soften. Add these to the

crock-pot, stir to combine, and continue cooking covered on high.

In a small dish mix together the seasonings and then stir into the

stew. Allow mixture to cook on high for 1 hour to get it going,

then cook on low for at least 5 hours, but you could do more of

you were out and about.

Yield: about 4 to 5 adult servings

 

I had a dollop of sour cream in mine. This would be wonderful served

over rice, noodles or couscous.
