Brothy Beans and Mushrooms
Serve this easy 15-minute stew with crusty bread, or serve it over mashed potatoes or polenta.
Ingredients
- 1 can large white beans like kidney or cannellini
- 1 cup crimini mushrooms
- 1 tsp concentrated vegetable stock like Better than Boullion
- 1 tsp white miso
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp Braggs Aminos or Soy Sauce or Tamari
- 2 tbsp white wine
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese or vegan parm
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups fresh spinach alternately, 1 cup thawed frozen spinach
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium heat, place the oil and heat it until it shimmers.
- Add the onions to the pan and stir well. Allow to cook until the onions are translucent and bit browned on the edges, about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt (salt helps to draw out the moisture in the mushrooms). Stir well together with the onions, and then allow the mushrooms to cook for about 3-4 minutes, undisturbed. Flip everything over to the other side and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and stir well. Once you can smell the garlic, deglaze with the wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the miso, Braggs, mustard and veg stock, along with about 1/2 cup of water, and stir everything well together.
- Add half the beans, no need to strain them. Stir well.
- Allow everything to cook together for about another 5 minutes, adding additional water if needed if the pan gets a bit dry.
- While this is cooking, add the second half of the beans (along with the liquid) to a blender and blend well to form a kind of creamy sauce. Add this to the pan as well. Allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed , as well as a nice healthy grind of fresh pepper.
- Add spinach and parmesan and stir well to melt the cheese and wilt the spinach.
- Serve with crusty bread.

@findbex This is more of a winter recipe, but when I made it and recorded this, it actually was really gross and cold and very rainy outside. So save it and come back to it when you need a quick, comforting dinner! Full recipe is up on my blog at cookingbylaptop.com #plantbased #vegan #recipe #beans #beantok
