You’re going to LOVE this Hearty Potato Stew as it’s:
- Super Easy
- Comforting
- Healthy
- One-pot
- Only £1 pp
- Gluten free & Vegan
Using these simple ingredients you can buy from most supermarkets.

Since cutting out meat I personally miss those deep coloured and flavoured beef stews but this one really hits the spot.
The chunky veg gives it such a comforting feel.
The lentils and mushrooms gives it a meaty texture.
And the cacao powder and tamari gives it such a depth in colour and flavour.
One of the best parts about this recipe is there is minimal prep and you simply chuck all the ingredients into one-pot to cook down.
One-pot cooking is some of my favourite dinners to make!
Just look at the depth of colour in this meat-free stew!

It’s such a family friendly comforting dinner recipe to serve up on these cold evenings.
You could totally batch cook this for even cheaper and freeze it down for a healthy “ready meal” to have on those busier days.

Really loved this flavoursome dish although I didn’t have any celery and only a lesser quantity of mushrooms. Instead I used a mushroom stockpot and some broccoli I needed to use up.
Thanks so much Linda 🙂
