I found this recipe online for a vegetarian stew and I just had to try it. I didn't really totally follow the recipe but it gave me a great base for this awesome dish! It was filling, earthy, and so so cozy! The perfect dish for the coming cold weather! Whenever I think of comfort food I always think pot roast, or steak and mashed potatoes.....but it really is true that you can have a comfort meal without the meat! Hope you guys try this and love it!
Ingredients (I didn't really use any measurements, just put in what I thought looked like a good amount:
-Light Life Gimmie Lean Ground Sausage (you can find this at Harris Teeter in the meat substitute section)
-onion
-baby red potatoes
-carrots
-kale
-baby bella mushrooms
-yellow split peas (I used these but I think next time I would try lentils instead)
-organic vegetable broth
-parsley
-garlic
(any spices you want to add. I used cayenne, salt and pep, oregano, thyme)
Cooking instructions:
-Heat oil in bottom of soup pot
-saute onions until clear
-add mushrooms and cook until golden/add kale
-add garlic and sausage and cook until browned
-add all other ingredients with veg. broth and bring to a boil
-turn down heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
You can make homemade croutons to go on top which I would really recommend. I just cubed some french bread and broiled it in the oven for 5 minutes so it was a little toasted but still soft. I seasoned the croutons before cooking with olive oil infused with garlic and parm. Add a little salt and pep and you are ready to go!
Enjoy!
