Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 8 oz. sliced mushrooms, I like using a combo of cremini and shitaake
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch, tapioca starch, or cornstarch
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened, unflavored dairy-free milk
- 1 (15 oz) can white beans, I love using cannelloni beans
- 2 cups baby greens, like baby chard, arugula or spinach
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 1 juiced lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste (I used about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, sliced, to garnish
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil. Add the onion and mushrooms, and saute for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until slightly browned and caramelized.
-
Add the garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, for one minute, or until fragrant.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk the starch with a splash of broth, then mix that into the rest of the vegetable broth.
-
Pour the broth and milk into the pan and add the beans. Cook for 5 minutes at a low simmer, until slightly thickened and warmed through.
-
Mix in the greens and cook until wilted, about 1 minute, and then mix in the tamari and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Top with basil.
-
Enjoy over rice, quinoa, pasta, greens, with toast, or all on its own.
Notes
- Storing leftovers: this stew will stay good in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4 days.
- To reheat: add the bean stew to a pan over the stove on low-medium heat, stirring frequently until the beans are warmed through. If needed, add a splash of water or broth while the stew heats. You can also add to a microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave for a minute or two, stirring every 30 seconds, until warmed through.
- Nutritional facts were calculated using unsweetened, unflavored soy milk. A different kind of dairy-free milk may yield slightly less protein (about 13 grams) and different nutritional results.
