Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables and lentils

  • Peel the rutabaga; cut the rutabaga into ½-inch pieces.
  • Scrub or peel the potato; cut the potato into ½-inch pieces.
  • Cut the mushrooms into quarters.
  • Rinse the lentils.

2

Start the stew

In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mirepoix and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the rutabaga, potato, and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the vegetables with the flour and porcini-herb blend and stir until the vegetables are lightly coated, 1 to 2 minutes.

3

Finish the stew

  • In a small bowl or cup, mix the vegetable broth concentrate with 2 cups [4 cups] warm water and stir to combine.

To the pot with the vegetables, add the vegetable broth and 1 cup [2 cups] beer (from your pantry) or water and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lentils and tamari and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the lentils and vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
