Warm, hearty, and bursting with vibrant flavors, this New Potato and Green Bean Stew is a comforting one-pot meal that perfectly balances wholesome ingredients with Mediterranean-inspired spices. Tender new potatoes and crisp green beans are simmered in a flavorful tomato-based broth infused with garlic, paprika, and thyme, creating a stew thatβs both nourishing and satisfying. A delicate splash of lemon juice adds brightness, while a garnish of fresh parsley offers a touch of freshness. Ready in just 45 minutes, this vegan-friendly dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or meatless meals and pairs beautifully with crusty bread or steamed rice for a complete, cozy feast.
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch lengths.
Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, paprika, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and evenly coat the onion mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes (including their juices). Stir well to combine.
Add the chopped potatoes into the pot and season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender.
Add the green beans to the pot and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, until the beans are tender but still crisp.
Stir in the lemon juice for a touch of brightness, and adjust the seasoning to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove the pot from the heat and garnish the stew with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a standalone dish, or alongside crusty bread or rice, if desired.
