Vegetable and Bean Stew - A perfect hearty filling dish to serve on a cold winter's day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"vegetable<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An amazing dish to make for Meat Free Mondays, if you are Vegan or simply just fancy a filling vegetable dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's packed with healthy vegetables, mixed beans and has a delicious flavour that the whole family will enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of my go-to recipes to make when I am batch cooking some stew and soup type dishes, as the ingredients are always items I have on hand in my fridge and pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only hard part is the chopping of vegetables. Unless of course, you use one of these vegetable choppers<\/a><\/strong><\/span>- It can come in super handy when you have lots of ingredients to dice up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend using a big casserole type pot to cook this in or a dutch oven, my favourite to cook stews and casseroles in, is my Staub Cast Iron Pot<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Own an Instant Pot<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>or Pressure Cooker? You will be pleased to know you can cook this yummy Vegetable and Bean Stew in your pressure cooker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use an Instant Pot<\/a><\/strong><\/span> which is basically a 7in1 cooker, which can slow cook, pressure cook, saut\u00e9 and has various settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven't tried that yet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manual high pressure is my choice of setting the majority of the time, picking my own timings depending on what it is I am making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use canned beans - six bean blend for the Vegetable and Bean stew, as it adds a great mixture, but you really can add in any beans you have on hand if there is a particular bean you don't enjoy. I just like all the flecks of different colours from the variety of beans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do recommend using the little bit of fennel, it is okay without, but it really does make such a difference to the flavour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
