stew

There is a dual inspiration for this Beefless Stew. First, Miyoko Schinner’s unsteak recipe begged me to make it into a stew and second, Ethan’s Bubby. We were going to make dinner for her birthday and as it was February in Albany, NY, we wanted something hearty, like Beefless Stew.

Ethan veganized his family’s Cholent with Helzel recipe and now we can enjoy one of his favorite childhood dishes anytime we want. This hearty, slow cooked stew is truly good old-fashioned Jewish comfort food.

These Barbecue Brisket Style Beans were a happy accident. What was supposed to be chili turned out to be so much better.

As we head into fall, it is time for some heartier, cold weather comfort foods. Nothing says comfort like a rich stew. This Beefless Stew comes together in a matter of minutes, so it makes a great weeknight meal.
