Winter Warmer Stew (requires seitan and miso)

 

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound seitan, cut into chunks

1 large onion, sliced

4 medium carrots, sliced

4 medium potatoes, cubed

4 cups vegetable broth or water, enough to cover the vegetables

1 15 ounce can beans, black or kidney

1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes

2 tablespoons low sodium tamari or soy sauce

2 teaspoons dark miso

1 tablespoon flour, optional thickener

 

Saute the seitan and onion in olive oil, until onions are translucent. Add the

carrots and potatoes and sauté for a few minutes longer. Add the vegetable broth

to cover them.

Puree beans and diced tomatoes together in a blender until smooth. Add to the

stew. Cook until the carrots and potatoes are tender. Add tamari and  miso. If

you would like a thicker stew, mix the flour with a small amount of water, and

stir that into the stew. If you like more vegetables, you can also add diced

mushrooms, celery, or any other fresh or frozen vegetables to this mix.

Serves 6.
