Vegan White Bean Stew with Fennel and Harissa

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • Olive oil
  • 1 Onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 Fennel bulb, cubed (similar size to onions)
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • White beans (cooked with garlic, bay leaf, salt and pepper)
  • Vegetable stock
  • Spinach
  • Parsley, chopped (stem and all)
  • Vegan butter (or good quality olive oil)
  • Harissa (for serving)
  • Crusty Sourdough bread (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics:

    • Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat.
    • Add the chopped onions and fennel to the pot.
    • Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
    • Cook until the onions and fennel are translucent and caramelized.
    • Chef's Tip: Using sea salt has more trace minerals than table salt.

  2. Create the Base:

    • Lower the heat.
    • Add the cooked white beans to the pot.
    • Pour in vegetable stock to bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. Simmer and Infuse:

    • Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat.

  4. Incorporate Spinach:

    • Add the spinach to the pot.
    • Turn off the heat and cover with a lid to allow the steam to wilt the spinach.

  5. Finish with Freshness:

    • Add the chopped parsley to the pot.
    • Stir in the vegan butter (or olive oil) for added richness and thickness.

  6. Serve:

    • Ladle the stew into a bowl.
    • Top with a dollop of harissa.
    • Serve with crusty Sourdough bread.
