Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 units celery stalks
- 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 unit bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the carrots into thin rounds. Peel and cube the potatoes, and chop the celery stalks. Finely chop the tomatoes after removing their seeds.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery to the pot. Sauté for another 3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the potatoes and green beans. Pour in the low sodium vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Add the chopped tomatoes, bay leaf, dried thyme, and ground black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer gently on low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary. Remember the focus is low sodium, so adjust with other herbs if more flavor is needed.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
