Vegan Green Beans and Potatoes Stew
Tender green beans and potatoes simmered with bell pepper, garlic, herbs, and a savory tomato sauce. This easy one-pot vegan stew is simple, comforting, and full of Mediterranean-inspired flavor.
Ingredients
- 7 potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 lb. (450 g) green beans, trimmed
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 5 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 3 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 cup tomato puree
- 1 cup water
- Fresh parsley chopped, for serving
Instructions
- Peel and dice the potatoes, trim the green beans, and chop the bell pepper, onion, and garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and become lightly golden around the edges.
- Add the green beans, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Season with the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and become fragrant.
- Pour in the tomato puree, soy sauce, and water. Stir well and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
- Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender, the green beans are soft, and the tomato sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove the pot from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Let the stew rest for about 10 minutes before serving so the sauce can settle and thicken slightly.
Notes
Fresh or frozen green beans both work well in this recipe.
Give the potatoes a head start before adding the remaining vegetables so everything becomes tender at about the same time.
Keep the stew at a gentle simmer once the tomato sauce is added so the potatoes soften without breaking apart.
If the sauce is too thin at the end, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
Let the finished stew rest for about 10 minutes before serving for a slightly thicker sauce.
For a more substantial meal, chickpeas or white beans can be added during the simmering step.
