White Bean & Garlic Stew image

Delicious recipe I adapted from: The Fat Free Vegan website. Please do not fear the number of garlic cloves in the recipe. They are kept whole and simmered for an hour in the broth, which mellows their flavor out perfectly. Almost like roasted garlic! This stew is nice served with crusty whole wheat bread, or over warm brown rice.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 head garlic (15-20 cloves)
2 tablespoons water
3 -4 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 cup vegetable stock or 1 cup broth
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Break the garlic bulb into cloves and peel off the skin, leaving cloves whole.
  • If some of the cloves are very large, you may cut them in half lengthwise.
  • Spray a large, non-stick pan lightly with olive oil.
  • Add the onion and sauté until it turns a rich, medium-brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, carrots ans celery and sauté for 1 more minute.
  • Add the beans, tomatoes, bay leaves, and vegetable broth.
  • Cover the pot and simmer for about an hour, adding water if it gets too thick.
  • Stir in the salt and pepper.
  • If you're serving the stew right away, add all the parsley and the lemon juice.
  • If you're serving it later or at room temperature, add the parsley and lemon juice right before serving.

This stew was a lifesaver on a busy weeknight. It was quick and easy to make, and it was a healthier alternative to takeout. I'll definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stew turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This stew was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, and the beans were a little too soft. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This stew was a hit with my family! Even my picky kids loved it. I served it with a side of rice, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.

I love how versatile this stew is. I added some chopped carrots and celery to mine, and it was just as good. You could also add some cooked chicken or sausage to make it a heartier meal.

This stew was so easy to make and so delicious. I used canned beans to save time, and it still turned out great. I'll definitely be adding this to my regular rotation of weeknight meals.

I'm not usually a fan of white beans, but this stew changed my mind! The beans were creamy and tender, and the garlic and herbs really brought out their flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This stew was absolutely delicious! The combination of white beans, garlic, and herbs was perfect, and the broth was so flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the goodness.
