Ingredients
Scale
3 large Gold Potatoes
1 pound Cremini Mushrooms
3 large Carrots
1 large Yellow Onio
4 cloves Garlic Cloves
6 cups Vegetable Broth
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
1 cup Green Beans
1/2 cup Frozen Peas
Instructions
- Sear the Mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer. Let them sit undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until they develop a deep, golden-brown crust. Remove them from the pot and set aside
- Aromatize the Base: Add the remaining Olive Oil to the same pot. Toss in the diced onions and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the carrots begin to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for just 1 minute until the fragrance fills your kitche
- Build the Richness: Stir in the tomato paste, coating the vegetables thoroughly. Cook the paste for 2 minutes
- Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in a splash of the vegetable broth to scrape up all those delicious brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the rest of the broth, the diced potatoes, and the fresh herb sprigs. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender
- Final Touches: Return the seared mushrooms to the pot and add the green beans and peas. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove the woody herb stems before serving
- Season to Perfection: Taste and add sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Notes
Always use a high-quality vegetable broth for the best flavor.
Let the stew sit for 10 minutes after turning off the heat to meld the flavors.
