Ingredients

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1 medium onion, diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced (shiitake and cremini blend preferred, about 7 cups)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Seasonings and Flavorings

  • 3/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 3/4 tsp dried rosemary
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tsp tamari or soy sauce (gluten-free as needed)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Fats and Thickening Agents

  • 3 Tbsp vegan butter (such as Miyoko’s) or olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch

Liquids

  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups dairy-free milk

Beans

  • 2 (15 oz.) cans white beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat vegan butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until melted. Add diced onions and sauté until soft. Then stir in sliced mushrooms along with dried thyme, rosemary, sea salt, and pepper. Cook for 7-10 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute to enhance flavor.
  2. Create the Stew Base: Sprinkle cornstarch evenly over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to coat. Pour in tamari and Dijon mustard, mixing thoroughly. Add vegetable broth and cubed potatoes, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Simmer Until Tender: Lower the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Add Beans and Dairy-Free Milk: Stir in the drained white beans and pour in the dairy-free milk. Mix well and continue to simmer uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the stew to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding extra tamari or salt if needed.
  5. Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and cracked black pepper if desired, and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use a mix of shiitake and cremini mushrooms for deeper flavor complexity.
  • Ensure tamari or soy sauce is gluten-free if necessary.
  • For a richer texture, use full-fat dairy-free milk alternatives like oat or cashew milk.
  • This stew reheats well and flavors deepen overnight.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding more vegetable broth if the stew becomes too thick.
