Stewing

Stew
An enormous bowl of vegetable stew

Two more days, two more meals. Sunday night we had a huge bowl of vegetable stew, just lots and lots of vegetables; potatoes, swedes, carrots, onions, green beans, bean sprouts and leafy greens along with a handful of red lentils to thicken the broth. Seasoned with the traditional vegan flavour kit of nutritional yeast, chilli sauce and soy sauce it was warming and good.

Last night, a very similar meal but this time using Thai flavourings, some commercial green curry paste, lemon grass, ginger, kaffir leaves and coconut milk. We topped it with some cubes of fried pumpkin rice cake, of which more tomorrow.

When you use potatoes do you use sweet or white? It looks like sweet in your pic but I wasn't sure.

Just found your blog and I'm new to the vegan scene and found your posts to be rather fun :)

Hi JeLMo21 (that's a name!!) Nice to meet you.

Those are ordinary old white potatoes, we grow them ourselves and the variety is called Ambo but that might be too much information.

Hope you will keep reading. :-)
