This recipe from Veganism is so good, I don't make that much at once, I just use less than what it says. Great on a cold day!
It's raining/snowing in the Sierra's, the first real winter storm. I picked up my organic CSA box yesterday, tons of beautiful winter vegetables. This is an appropriate day to prepare my favorite bean, barley and vegetable stew. I make enough for several days and it taste just as delicious the third day as it does the first - My stew is powerfully nutritional and extremely low in calories. It takes about an hour from preparation to serving.
two cups of organic dry mung/adzuki/garbanzo beans
one cup of organic hulled barley
one cup of organic hulled wheat berries

two cups of organic dry mung/adzuki/garbanzo beans
one cup of organic hulled barley
one cup of organic hulled wheat berries
...
six organic carrots
one organic onion
one large organic cauliflower
five large stalks of broccoli
two bunches of spinach
six stalks of organic celery
four organic tomatoes
three organic Yukon potatoes
three organic Purple potatoes
two bunches of spinach
one bunch of organic parsley
one organic lemon
one whole organic avocado
Seasoning:
six cloves of organic garlic
one tbs. of curry powder
one tbs. of turmeric
one teaspoon of cayenne powder
one tbs. cumin
one tbs. organic saffron
Bragg Amino Acid to taste
You are going to have to soak the beans and the grains for twenty-four hours. Thoroughly rinse them before you put them i the stock pot. When soaking the beans/grains, make sure to put then in a large bowl and plenty of water as they will expand. I always rinse them twice before the 24 hours is up.
Chop and mince the garlic very fine. Cut the potatoes in halves or quarters depending on their size. Cube all the vegetables in bite size pieces.
Your going to need a large stock pot for this. Put enough water in the pot to cover about three inches above the beans and grains. Bring the beans and grains along with the seasoning to a boil and simmer for about thirty minutes. Add the potatoes, onions and garlic and slowly simmer for another fifteen minutes when the potatoes are tender. Add all of the vegetables and mix in with the stew. Cover the stock pot and turn off the heat and allow the vegetables to steam with the grains, beans, potatoes, onion, garlic and seasoning . Remember, no heat, just let the warmth steam the vegetables.
Serve and just add fresh organic lemon, chopped fresh parsley and a whole avocado......
This is a magnificent stew to serve as the main meal as it is loaded with protein, antioxidants, enzymes, all the vitamins and a tremendous amount of nutrition.
This stew will easily serve a family of four for two days. It cost approximately $25.00. Compare that to four hamburgers, fries and cokes at McDonald's. Since when does organic Vegan food cost more than fast food? It doesn't, just a little time to buy the ingredients and an hour to prepare.
