Ingredients

Scale

Stew:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 medium zucchini, diced
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 cups cooked white beans or 2 cans (14 oz each), drained and rinsed
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Tahini Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 2 garlic cloves for sauce
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt for sauce
  • Freshly ground black pepper for sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt; sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in bell pepper, zucchini, additional salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes; cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add white beans, tomatoes, and vegetable broth; bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until tomatoes soften.
  4. Stir in kale and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
  5. For the tahini sauce, blend tahini, water, nutritional yeast, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Serve stew with sauce drizzled on top or stirred in.

Notes

  • Substitute other summer vegetables such as corn, green beans, or eggplant.
  • The tahini sauce adds creaminess but can be omitted for a lighter stew.
  • Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
