[recipe] Anasazi Bean and Vegetable Stew (Crock Pot Recipe)~ vegan

[Guest guest]

This is what I made for dinner last night. Sort of just threw

it together but made sure to type up what I did to share with

you all. It was delicious and so easy. Smelled wonderful cooking

in the crockie all day. Even my 13 yo son, who is not veg and

very silly-teasing of my veg cooking, was just drooling over it.

When he got home from his bike ride he scooped right in and

chowed down. He hates veggies, but he loved the flavors and

heat of this stew and said, " Hey, I've been smelling this cook

all day and I don't care if there are veggies in it, I gotta have it! " *lol*

It was zippy; more so than I thought it would be, so you

heat-lovers will enjoy it, and those of you who are more

spice-shy will want to cut back on the listed seasonings.

Okay, enough yappin' here it is:

 

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.

I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life

there is one that matters most.  It is the trail of a

true human being.  I think you are on this trail and it

is good to see.
