This hearty vegetable stew is full of flavor, thanks to a blend of spices combined with a touch of peanut butter. Using a pressure cooker allows you to have this stew on the table in minutes!

1 cup dried black beans
1 package veggie ground “beef”, such as Yves…

1/4 cup vegetable broth
1 onion, diced…

3 large potatoes
2 medium carrots…

This cooks really well in a pressure cooker – just put in everything except the vinegar and red pepper and cook the whole mess about 30-45 minutes. It would probably also do well in a slow-cooker/crock pot. Again, just put everything but the last two ingredients in and cook away!

1 1/2 cups dry chunk beef style TVP
5 cups water…

1 pound tofu (use rinsed firm water-packed), cut in 1-½ inch cube
¼ cup soy sauce…

1 large onion — diced
1 red bell pepper — seeded and diced…

Easy and excellent!

1 large onion — sliced
2 large carrots — sliced…

This is a ‘tried and true’ recipe that I have been making for many years. It really is delicious, and perfect for this season….

nonstick spray
1 large sweet potato (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks…

Serve the stew on rice or with a fresh crusty bread.

This spicy bean stew reheats well so it can be made ahead and refrigerated until needed for mealtime.

1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped carrots…
