Hearty Potato Stew Ingredients

 

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.

  3. What if you don’t have cocoa powder? Is there a substitute.. may benefit others that are making this as they read the instructions. Thanks

    This is amazing! The cocoa powder makes the sauce really rich and ‘meaty’. A firm favourite. Thanks James

    1. No I would just whack it all in at the same time (no need to fry the veg first) on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3.5 to 4 hours. Enjoy

    Really good -and money-saving too. Wasnt sure about using cocoa powder, but, yes, it gave it “body”. Thank you
