FOR THIS RECIPE YOU WILL NEED:
FOR VEGETABLES:
* 2 yellow onions
*2 cups baby carrots
*2 tablespoons olive oil
*1 crown of broccoli
*2 cups brussel sprouts
*4 cloves garlic (minced)
*1 1/4 cup dry red wine (I used a cabernet sauvignon)
*2 tablespoons tomato paste
*2 tablespoons thyme
*1 tablespoon turmeric
*2 bay leaves
*2 cups vegetable broth
*Salt & pepper to taste
FOR MASHED POTATOES:
*1 1/2 pounds of potatoes (I used baby potatoes)
*3 tablespoons vegan butter (I use country crock)
*1/4 cup non-dairy milk
*2 teaspoons garlic powder
*salt & pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Prep all your veggies. Peel and slice your onions, cut up your broccoli crown into bite sized pieces, mince garlic, and slice your brussel sprouts in half.
Heat your olive oil in a large pot on medium high heat. Add all your veggies and cook for about 10 minutes.
Add your red wine and bring to a boil.
Add your tomato paste, vegetable broth, thyme, turmeric, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Mix well & bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until your carrots cook through.
While your stew is cooking, boil your potatoes. Once your potatoes are softened, drain the water and mash your potatoes with a fork. Add your butter, non-dairy milk, & seasonings (adjust to your preference).
Once your veggies are done cooking, remove your bay leaves.
Serve your veggies over your potatoes and enjoy!
