Delicious vegetable stews you'll love
What's the story
Root vegetable stews make for a warm and hearty dinner option, particularly in colder months. Not only are these stews filling but also rich in nutrients from root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and turnips. The hearty meal can be easily prepared in large quantities, making it perfect for families or meal-prepping. With different combinations of spices/herbs, you can also customize these stews to suit your taste.
Dish 1
Classic potato and carrot stew
A classic potato and carrot stew is as simple as it is flavorful. Start by sauteing onions and garlic until they are soft. Add diced potatoes and carrots along with vegetable broth. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaves. Let it simmer until the vegetables are tender. The stew is perfect when served hot with crusty bread on the side.
Dish 2
Spiced turnip and parsnip delight
For a twist on traditional stews, try a spiced turnip and parsnip combination. Start by cooking onions in olive oil until translucent. Add chopped turnips and parsnips along with cumin seeds for an earthy flavor profile. Pour in some vegetable stock, season with coriander powder, salt, and pepper before letting it cook until everything is soft.
Dish 3
Sweet potato lentil fusion
Sweet potato lentil stew provides you sweetness from the potatoes as well as protein from lentils, making it nutritious yet deliciously satisfying, too! Saute onion slices till golden brown, then add cubed sweet potatoes followed by rinsed red lentils into your pot. Pour enough water or broth, covering all ingredients completely before seasoning using turmeric powder, plus chili flakes if desired!
Dish 4
Beetroot barley blend
A beetroot barley blend brings together the earthy flavors of beetroot with the chewy texture of barley grains, making for a wholesome dish altogether. Start off by frying chopped onions until fragrant, then stir in diced beetroots, adding pearl barley next. Cover it all with a sufficient amount of liquid (plain water or vegetable stock) and let the mixture simmer gently over low heat till done.
