Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups White Dry Beans
  • ½ Cup Onion
  • 1 Carrot
  • ½ Cup Red Pepper
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • ½ tsp. Black pepper
  • 1 tsp. Universal spice
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • Start by rinsing the beans, then add water to cover them. Let them soak and cook for 3 ½ hours until soft. Drain off the water and set the beans aside.
  • Heat a little oil in a large pan. Toss in all the chopped veggies and sauté for about 5 minutes. Pour in 1 cup of water and let it all simmer for 1 ½ hours until the water is absorbed and the veggies are tender.
  • Add the beans back to the pan. Pour in 1 ½ cups of water so it just covers the beans by half an inch. Sprinkle in your spices and tuck in a few bay leaves. Let everything simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the bay leaves and serve your bean stew. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Soak Your Beans: If using dry beans, soak them overnight for quicker cooking and a creamier texture.
Add Greens: Stir in spinach or kale for extra nutrients and color.
Make it Ahead: The flavors deepen after a day in the fridge, making leftovers even tastier.
Thicken Naturally: Mash some of the beans in the pot for a thicker, heartier stew.
