steven's spicy black bean soysage stew (recipe, vegan)

[Guest guest]

Good n' spicy! I used frozen Lightlife patties instead of the tube. I

haven't seen any of the tubes at my market anyway. I'd also tried the

burger tube from Lightlife a few years back and hated it. So I was wary

of the tube anyway. A recent great find is Muir Glen's fire roasted

canned tomatoes. Ever since I discovered them, I've been using them

instead of regular canned tomatoes. I used the ones with green chilies

here. I think that's all I changed. I didn't serve with anything. It

was really quite filling on its own.

Steven's Spicy Black Bean Soysage Stew

 

Serving Size : 4

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

7 ounces Lightlife Gimme Lean Sausage-Style soysage --

thawed

cooking spray

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 medium onion -- sliced vertically into thin crescents

2 1/2 cups vegetable stock

1 large sweet potato -- peeled and cut into 1/2 " dice

1 can black beans (15 oz)

1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles (14.5 oz)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

cooked rice or other grain, or toasted bread,

to serve with the stew

 

Form soysage into 6 to 8 patties.

 

Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place it over

medium-high heat. When hot, add the patties, cooking until just

browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the skillet

and set aside.

 

Add the oil to the hot skillet along with the onion. Saute until the

onion softens slightly about 3 minutes. Then if the skillet's large

enough and high-sided, add the vegetable stock and sweet potato. (If

the skillet is the more usual 8 to 10 inches in diameter with 1

1/2-inch-high sides, transfer the onions to a soup pot that has been

sprayed with cooking spray and then add the stock and sweet potato.)

Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Loosely cover and

cook until the sweet potato is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.

 

Drain 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquid from either the beans or the

tomatoes with green chiles, reserving it in a small dish. Add the

beans, and tomatoes to the pot. Return the stew to a gentle boil.

 

Using your fingers, smush the cornstarch into the reserved liquid, to

make a thin slurry. Stirring constantly, mix into the stew, which

should thicken almost immediately. Add salt and pepper to taste.

 

Serve the stew in large bowls, ladled over rice, if desired, and a

soysage patty or two. Serve steaming hot.

Oh boy - I have been craving black beans for a few days and just reading this

I am going to try and convert this to a crock-pot recipe and try it this

This sounds so good, Laura!

Have you ever tried the soyrizo that comes in a

tube made by Melissa's? Oh my, I bet that would

work well in this recipes. Mmmmm.

I still haven't gotten my mail yet, but I am hopeful

my CrescentDragonWagon cookbook is in there today!

All the recipes you share from there sound so

wonderful and I love how you add your own touches

to jazz them up even more. *s*

I got out my copy of this book tonite to hunt up this recipe, because

Crescent often has wonderful suggestions about modifying and altering

the recipes. I made it with soyrizo (just sautéed it in the pan, and

left it in the pot instead of setting it aside and using it as you would

the patties). The spices in the soyrizo added a wonderful flavour. I

also used a regular potato instead of a sweet potato, because that’s

what I had around. I served it over some leftover brown rice, with a

fresh salad on the side.

 

It was WONDERFUL – tasty, filling, and great colours and texture.

Everyone enjoyed it. This one is definitely a keeper, and I expect I’ll

be making it often when I want something warm and “stick to your ribs”

filling.

 

Passionate Vegetarian is a wonderful book, for anyone thinking about new

cookbook purchases. It’s full of all kinds of information in addition

to the recipes, as well as some funny anecdotes here and there. I got

it as a gift, but it would have been well worth the purchase price.

Hi!

 

We love soyrizo, too! The way we use it is this: Put lots of sliced onions

and peppers and veggie crumbles in the crock pot and add the soyrizo and

cook til soft. It does add a wonderful flavor and color. One of our

favorites! Good for ails ya! hee hee
