Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 onion, chopped (white, yellow, or red)
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1–2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 2 cups cubed sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups cubed russet or Yukon potatoes (or baby creamer potatoes halved)

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 (15 oz.) can organic white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 tablespoons organic tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons organic all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons On Everything All-Purpose Blend
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 (28 oz.) can tomato sauce or diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups organic vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a medium-sized Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add vegetables: Incorporate the chopped carrots and diced celery into the pot. Continue sautéing for another 1-2 minutes to soften the vegetables.
  3. Season and thicken: Stir in the On Everything All-Purpose Blend, smoked paprika, sea salt, and tomato paste until the vegetables are well coated. Add the organic flour and mix thoroughly to combine, preparing for the stew’s thickening.
  4. Simmer the stew: Gradually add the vegetable stock while stirring frequently to prevent lumps and allow the mixture to thicken. Add tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, drained white beans, cubed sweet potatoes, and potatoes. Toss in the fresh thyme sprigs. Let the stew simmer for 2-3 minutes, then reduce heat to low, partially cover with a lid, and continue simmering for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes and other vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even thickening and blending of flavors.
  5. Serve: Remove the stew from heat and ladle into bowls. Serve immediately with your choice of mashed potatoes, vegan cornbread, basmati rice, coconut rice, bread, or salad for a complete meal.
  6. Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy this comforting vegan sweet potato stew!

Notes

  • Use any variety of white beans you prefer or have on hand.
  • You can substitute russet or Yukon potatoes with baby creamer potatoes, simply halving them.
  • Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent sticking and ensure even thickening.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free thickener.
  • Worcestershire sauce used should be vegan to maintain the dish’s vegan status.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste, especially salt and smoked paprika.
  • This stew pairs well with various side dishes such as vegan cornbread or rice varieties.
