I love the recipe but am concerned about the high temperature used to cook it. Doesn’t cooking at high temperatures cause damage to the nutrients in our food?
I was under the impression that potatoes should not be cooked at a temperature higher than 350 degrees F.
The vegetables won’t get above 212F/100C as they are effectively submerged in liquid that doesn’t get above that temperature.
Wonderfu, love your recipesl. Braggs – should it be on list?
Looks so yummy. Quick question…are you using dried herbs/spices (i.e. parsley, thyme and sage)?
Dried
What size dutch oven did you use?
Dried herbs and I think the dish is a 2 qt. ( unfortunately a little too small)
Just made and added a parsnip and used kale instead of parsley. Your recipe is excellent.
What brand of low-sodium Vegetable broth? Most have oil in them???
Pacific Foods Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Broth, 32 oz
I made this tonight and we loved it!
What’s a good low-sodium substitute for the Bragg’s liquid aminos? I’m on a low sodium diet and that has way too much for me. Thanks!
Low sodium soy sauce or tamari
Could you suggest a substitution for the red wine? Or should I just leave it out? Thanks for your help and your recipe!
You can just leave it out
This stew is delicious. I have made it twice, the first time I didn’t have red wine, this time I did. The red wine, a dash of ume plum wine and liquid smoke rocked it! I also added some green peas just because.
I love your recipes!
I’m making this tonight and it smells great! I am cooking it on the stove because I don’t have a dutch oven big enough.I’ll let you know how it comes out. I’ll cook it until the carrots are soft.
This stew was really good. My only problem was the potatoes and carrots did not cook in the oven. As a result I had to boil this a a bit on the stove. Can’t figure out what I did wrong but I love the stew.
Yeah, sometimes the carrots and potatoes take a bit longer to cook, depending on the size and type. I find that it actually does better to be cooked for 1 hour or more.
Making this recipe for the second time. Absolutely a hearty & tasty dish! Tyfs
Can I cook this on the stovetop?
Hmmm, that is a good question. Yes, but I’m not quite sure to tell you how long to cook it for the veggies to be done. I would try cooking it covered on a medium heat for at least 30 minutes.
Yes, I did since I was at an airbnb and it didn’t have an oven proof dish. Came out great on the stovetop.
This is a phenomenal recipe!!!! I made it as written except I had no rosemary. ? and I used brown mushrooms. Soooooooo good. My house smells wonderful even next day. Yum. Next time I make it I won’t use as much broth because I like a thicker stew.
I LOVE this recipe and have made it several times. It has the most delicious flavor! Making it tonight and planning to add some lentils or white beans to it to make it a bit more hearty.
This recipe is so good! We added a bag of soy curls for some protein and extra tomatoes past and corn starch slurry to thicken it more.
I am so thankful for this show! It’s hard to find traditional plant based recipes. I struggled for a long time because most recipes out there were simple rice and bean, quinoa and berries, I always found myself missing those true home cooked meals, NOT ANYMORE! I have loads of traditional plant based recipes AND a cooking show!!
Thank you for making the transition so much easier!
Jill,
Just wanted to tell you we love this recipe. I make it at least a couple times a month. I do it on the stove top and it comes out really good. I turned my sister on to it (she does your version) and has become a regular for her as well. I agree with others, the whole house smells wonderful! I wanted to tell you that your stew was a go to for me while planning our road trip. We travel in a camper van and I made this before leaving and froze it (two, one gallon size baggies). I just defrosted one right in the frying pan covered and let it heat up and it was as good as making it fresh. Some of the
Potatoes did break down a bit but that only made it thicker! So thanks. I have one more left in the freezer and think I will make another batch while stationary. Thanks for all the recipes, I have many favorites of yours.
That’s fantastic Kay =)
