This is why I keep coming back to this vegetable curry stew:
Healthy comfort food: This vegetable curry stew is both filling and delicious. I love how it’s nourishing while being so satisfying. It has a rich, aromatic base with hearty black beans and kale, warming spices, and onion, garlic and ginger for depth. Versatile: Similar to my vegan Thai curry, this recipe is easy to memorize, and I love that it’s so versatile that I can make it using whatever I have in the fridge. I’ve even used a frozen vegetable medley with carrots, peas, and corn when it was all I had on hand. Crowd-pleaser: Not only is it vegan and gluten-free, but this vegetable curry stew with quinoa and black beans is also a complete meal on its own. It’s all made in one pot so the only real work is in the chopping of the vegetables, which can easily be done ahead of time. Creamy: The secret ingredient might not be one you’d suspect, but it introduces a rich and creamy texture while melding into the spices and vegetables.
Consistency: The peanut butter melds right into the broth as you stir it in, creating a luscious, creamy base that takes this stew to the next level. Flavor: The nutty undertone works perfectly with the earthy spices, enriching the stew with its rich flavor. Don’t skip it! Nutrition: It’s not just about how it tastes, it also boosts the protein content and adds healthy fats.
Alternative nut butter: In addition to peanut or almond butter, cashew butter and sunflower seed butter are delicious options. Sunflower seed is a good option if someone has a nut allergy. Bean swap: Yes, you can easily substitute the black beans for chickpeas, navy beans, kidney beans, or even lentils. Veggies: There are loads of vegetables in this stew, but you can change it up according to your preferences or what’s in the fridge. I’ve made this with cauliflower, eggplant, spinach, sweet potato, and green beans before. Spice it up: I prefer it with extra curry powder and some chili flakes or extra cayenne pepper, but I like my food spicier than most.
