Heat some water with about 1/2 t. of red wine vinegar, and saute some broccoli and onions (cut up, of course). When near-tender, add some cooked navy beans (I happened to have a can of Eden brand) and the drained spaghetti. If there isn't enough liquid, use a little of the spaghetti water. Also include a little rosemary (1/2 t. approx.) Cook a little longer. Serve with some raw diced tomato on top. kwvegan vegan

My wife made this for dinner last night. It is great with
some crusty bread. Also the leftovers make a great lunch.
The recipe supposedly makes 10 servings but I don't know for who. It
is more like 4 servings for dinner.
Barley Stew
1 cup barley, diiered
1 lkarge onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
4 slices of ginger
2 cans whole tomatoes, peeled & cut into chunks
2 carrots chopped
1 small can kideny beans
1 tsp curry powder (optional)
4 stalk of celery cut into small pieces
2-3 potatoes peeled & chopped
5 cups water
Place barley in large Pyrex bowl, add water, cover with plastic wrap
and nuke for 20 minutes on full power. May need 10 more minutes until
barley is cooked.
Saute onion, garlic, ginger & curry in nonstick pan.
Continue to saute adding the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil
and turn to a simmer.
Simmer 30-45 minutes until potatoes & carrots are cooked. You may have to
add more water.
Serve with hot bread.
Variations: Add other vegetables such as corn, peas.
Omit potatoes.

Well, the book is actually Greens, not Savory Way, but here's
the adapted recipe (p. 218 for those of you that have it on your
shelf):
Corn, Bean, and Pumpkin Stew
"A delicious and healthful combination of ingredients make up this
homey autumnal stew. Make it hotter, if you like, with ground ancho
chilies or chili powder."
1 C pinto beans, soaked overnight and drained
Salt
1 lb tomatoes, fresh or canned, peeled, seeded, and chipped, juice
reserved [peeled and seeded? Yea, right.]
3 ears corn (about 1 1/2 C kernels)
1 t cumin seeds
1 t oregano
1 inch piece of cinnamon
3 cloves
1 large onion, cut into a medium dice
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 T paprika
2 C bean broth or stock [if you make the stock yourself, she suggests
one made with carrots, zucchini, onion, potato, parsley, garlic,
cinnamon, cloves, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom pods, and
salt.]
3 C pumpkin or winter squash, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 serrano chilies, seeded and finely chopped [or to make it hotter
without adding chili powder, leave in the seeds]
Cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish
Cook the beans in water and 1/2 t salt for about 1.5 hrs or until
beans are tender. Drain and reserve the cooking liquid.
Warm a small heavy skillet and toast the cumin seeds until their
fragrance emerges; then add the oregano, stir for 5 seconds, and
quickly transfer the spices to a plate or bowl so they don't burn.
Combine them with the cinnamon and the cloves, and grind to a powder
in an electric spice mill.
Heat a wide skilled [with water or some sauteing liquid] and saute
the onion briskly over high heat for 1 minute; then lower the heat to
medium. Add the garlic, the spices, the paprika, and 1 t salt. Stir
well to combine; then add 1/2 C reserved bean broth or stock and cook,
stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft. Next add the tomatoes
and cook 5 minutes. Then add the pumpkin or winter squash along with
another C of bean broth or stock. After 20 to 30 minutes, or when the
pumpkin is about half-cooked -- soft but still too firm to eat -- add
the corn, the beans, and the fresh chilies. Thin with the reserved
tomato juice, adding more broth or stock as necessary. Cook until the
pumpkin is tender. Check the seasoning, and add more salt if
necessary. Serve garnished with the chopped cilantro or parsley.
Even though there is corn in the stew, corn bread or tortillas make
a good accompaniment.

Title: Hearty Bean and Vegetable Stew
Categories: Soup, Crock pot, Vegan, Ornish
Yield: 12 servings
1 lb Beans, assorted, dry
2 c Vegetable juice
1/2 c Dry white wine
1/3 c Soy sauce
1/3 c Apple or pineapple juice
-vegetable stock or water
1/2 c Celery diced
1/2 c Parsnips diced
1/2 c Carrots diced
1/2 c Mushrooms diced
1 Onion diced
1 t Basil, dried
1 t Parsley, dried
1 Bay leaf
3 Clove garlic minced
1 t Black pepper ground
1 c Rice or pasta cooked
Sort and rinse beans, then soak overnight in water.
Drain beans and place in crockpot. Add vegetable juice, wine, soy sauce,
and apple or pineapple juice. Cover with vegetable stock or water; the
amount added depends on whether you prefer a soup (more liquid) or a stew
(less). The juice adds just a tad of sweetness and the soy sauce adds
depth and the tang of salt.
Cook at high for 2 hours. Add vegetables, herbs, and spices, and cook for
5-6 hours at low until carrots and parsnips are tender. When tender, add
rice or pasta and cook for one additional hour.
Notes:
For beans use 3 or 4 kinds, such as: black, red kidney, pinto, baby lima,
lentil, and green and/or yellow split peas.

Most soups and stews can be prepared in a
crock pot. Just decrease the liquid ingredients (not as much liquid will
evaporate from a closed slowcooker) and let it rip for 6 or more hours.

Date: Sat, 01 Apr 95 16:37:10 From: "Natalie Frankel"This is in response to Jody Bar-On's requests for a main dish idea for seder. I just visited my folks in (SUNNY!) Florida and they made this for us. It's from a lovely illustrated cookbook called The Passover Gourmet. Most recipes are filled with fat but can be easily adapted. I'm going to serve this as my main dish, as it's very reminiscent of brisket. It'll serve as a vegetable side dish for the brisket eaters. It should be very good served over the roasted potatoes that will be the side dish for everyone else. This is a very satisfying dish and can be made ahead and reheated easily in the microwave or even baked in the oven with the other dishes, if desired. It can also be easily increased based on the number of people at your table. 8-VEGETABLE STEW 2 onions 2 carrots (or 1/2 lb. peeled baby carrots) 2 red peppers 2 tomatoes 2 ribs celery 1 cup mushrooms 1 zucchini 1/2 pound fresh green beans 1 cup tomato paste 1 TB sugar 1 dash salt salsa to taste - about 1/4 cup (we added this because it needed spicing up) Slice onions, carrots, red pepper, tomatoes, celery, mushrooms, and zucchini, setting tomatoes aside. Saute all plus green beans in your favorite sautee liquid for 10 mins. Add tomato paste, sugar, salt, tomatoes and salsa with 1 cup of water. Cover and cook 20 mins. Serves 4-6. kwvegan vegan

Catalan Bean Stew
Recipe By : High-Flavor, Low-Fat Vegetarian Cooking/Steven Raichlen
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beans Lowfat
Vegan
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 dried red or brown chiles, such as pasilla
or New Mexican reds, or 1 tbsp Spanish
or Hungarian sweet paprika
3 cups vegetable broth
2 medium onion -- peeled & quartered
4 ripe tomatoes
6 cloves garlic -- peeled
2 slices country-style white bread
3 parsnips or carrots -- diced
1 potato -- peeled & diced
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 cups cooked fava beans or lima beans
1 cup cooked corn kernels
2 tablespoons sherry wine -- or to taste
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar -- or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Tear the chiles in half and remove the stems and seeds. Soak the chiles in
the stock for 1 hour or until soft. If using paprika, dissolve it in the
stock. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the onions and tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil and roast
them for 20 minutes. Add the garlic and continue roasting for 20 minutes,
or until the garlic is soft and the onions are golden brown. Darkly toast
the bread in a toaster.
Transfer the chiles to a blender with a slotted spoon, reserving the
stock. Add the onions, tomatoes, garlic, and toast and puree until smooth,
adding stock as necessary to obtain a thick paste. Note: A blender works
better than a food processor for this purpose.
Transfer the chile mixture to a large, nonstick frying pan and cook over
medium heat, stirring often, for 3 minutes or until fragrant. Stir in the
reserved stock, parsnips, and potatoes and half the parsley and cook,
uncovered, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables
are just tender. The recipe can be prepared ahead to this stage.
Stir in the fava beans, corn, sherry, and vinegar and simmer for 5
minutes, or until the beans and corn are thoroughly heated. Correct the
seasoning, adding salt, sherry, or vinegar to taste. The mixture should be
highly seasoned. If the stew is too thick, add a little more stock. If too
thin, simmer the stew, uncovered, to evaporate the excess liquid.
Transfer the stew to a bowl or platter and sprinkle with the remaining
parsley. Rice or polenta would make a nice accompaniment.

Date: Fri, 06 May 94 20:49:04 EDT From: MASCOLINI@wmich.edu RECIPE FOR CHICKPEA STEW The following recipe for chickpea stew was adapted from one published in Eating Well (Sept./Oct., 1993), which was in turn adapted from The Healthy Cuisine of India: Recipes from the Bengal Region by Bharti Kirchner (Lowell House, 1993). The EW editors say (p. 96) that "The secret to the rich flavor is the slow browning of the onions. Do not omit the garnishes as they not only make the dish pretty but balance its texture as well." 2-1/2 cups finely chopped onions 1 bay leaf 1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 1/2 tsp. turmeric 2 tsp. ground cumin 2 tsp. ground coriander 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes 1 16-oz. can chickpeas, drained or 1-1/2 cups cooked sliced onions, tomatoes, and fresh cilantro for garnish Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add onions and bay leaf; saute for 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes longer. Add ginger and garlic and cook until onions are well browned but not burnt, 2-3 minutes. (If the mixture becomes too dry, add 1-2 tsp. water.) Stir in jalapeno peppers, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Add tomatoes and 1/2 cup water. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and a thick sauce has formed, about 10 minutes. Add chickpeas, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes to further develop the flavors. Discard the bay leaf. Taste, and adjust seasonings. Serve over rice, garnished with onions, tomatoes, and cilantro.

Date: Sat, 24 Jun 1995 23:21:17 -0700 From: Michelle DickThe following recipe is adapted from one in Bharti Kirchner's _The Bold Vegetarian_ This cookbook is a wonderful read and full of inspiring recipes, some low fat and many adaptable. It's a complex-flavored smokey chickpea stew/sauce. It's a recipe for gourmet types; some of the ingredients are exotic and it's a bit labor intensive. I cut the recipe in half and didn't measure strictly. Here's the best approximation of what I did (see Kirchner's book for her version): CHIPOTLE CHICKPEA STEW 5 sun dried tomatoes 2 large red bell peppers 2+ cups cooked chickpeas (I used canned and reserved the liquid) 1/2 cup water or chickpea liquid 1/4 t asafetida powder 1/2 onion, sliced into half rings 2 large cloves garlic, minced 1/8 t ground turmeric 1/2 t ground cumin 1/2 t ground chipotle pepper (or to taste) 1/4 t minced dried ancho pepper 2 Roma tomatoes, unpeeled, finely chopped salt to taste Place sun dried tomatoes in small microwave safe bowl and add water just enough to cover. Microwave on high for 1 minute, let cool. Roast bell peppers over gas stove (or under broiler) till skin is blackened and flesh is soft. Place in paper bag, seal, and set aside. Heat nonstick pan, add onions, and sprinkle with asafetida. Heat over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes adding a little water now and then (or some of the chickpea liquid) to keep from sticking too badly. You want to carmelize the onions somewhat. While the onions are cooking, puree the sun dried tomatoes with their cooking liquid and 1/4 cup of the chickpeas together in a blender. Add some of the chickpea liquid if necessary to make thick smooth paste. Remove from blender and set aside (no need to clean blender yet). Mince garlic, and mix with tumeric, cumin, ground chipotle, and ancho pepper. Set aside. Chop tomatoes and set aside. When onions are golden, add garlic mixture to onions and stir until evenly distributed. Add 1/4 cup chickpea liquid and bring to boil. Add chick-pea/tomato puree, fresh tomatoes, and salt. Lower heat and simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes until thick. While stew is simmering, remove bell peppers from bag. Rub off their blackened skins, slice open, and remove seeds and ribs. Puree the flesh in the blender (see why you didn't need to wash it yet?). Measure off 3/4 cup of the red pepper puree (reserve the rest for another use). When stew has finished simmering for its 12-15 minutes, add the red pepper puree and bring back to a simmer. Add the remaining chickpeas. Heat through and serve. Cilantro is the suggested garnish. I had whole chipotles and ground 1/2 of one in my coffee grinder (which I don't use for coffee beans anymore). Serves 2 kwvegan vegan

Date: Sat, 27 Nov 93 13:14:47 PST From: Peter_BrooksLentil and Bulgur wheat stew. I called this a stew, but I'm not sure what it really should be called. It makes a good potluck dish; it's quick to prepare, uses a minimum of pots, and tastes pretty good. 3/4 Cup (6 ounces) dried lentils, washed and picked over. 4 cups water. 1 stalk celery [optional; works either way] 3 medium carrots, sliced in 2/4" chunks [Use less if you add the celery.] 2cups (1 medium) yellow onion, chopped 1tsp Tamari, or to taste Balsamic vinegar Spices: cumin, paprika, black pepper, coriander seed. It's best to have the veggies all sliced and ready to cook before starting the bean cooking. Bring the lentils and the water to a boil in a large saucepan, then reduce to a simmer. Keep an eye on the clock; 10 minutes later, add the carrots, return to a boil, and simmer 5 minutes longer. While the lentils are cooking, start sauteing the onion to translucency, using balsamic vinegar as the liquid. Add the mushrooms and tamari. Add to the lentil/carrot mixture. Add the spices. (I added a few coriander seeds to the onions while I sauted. Wasn't hot enough to get them to pop, though.) (The lentils have simmered a total of 15 minutes by now.) Add the bulgur [and celery], and simmer for 5-10 minutes. The water should be absorbed by now, so be careful about burning it. I transferred it to a 10 x 10 x 2" Corning dish for serving. This much food keeps good and warm on the way to a potluck. It came off the stove just as I left, dirty dishes in the sink, and all. :-) It was warm enough about 45 minutes later when we ate. It also reheats well in the microwave. kwvegan vegan

MEXICAN LENTIL STEW WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND CHILIES
adapted from "Fields of Greens", by Annie Sommerville
1 1/2 cups brown lentils
4 cups cold water
1 bay leaf
2 fresh sage leaves (or 1/2 t. dry)
1 fresh oregano or marjoram sprig (or 1 t. dry)
1 head of garlic
24 ounces canned tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup water
1 red onion, diced
1 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and ground *
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, toasted *
1 small carrot, diced
1 small red or yellow bell pepper, diced
3 new potatoes, preferably roasted, cut in eights
Chili powder to taste
1/2 teaspoon Chipotle Chili puree **
1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
Put the lentils, water, bay leaf, sage, and oregano or marjoram
in a soup pot. Bring the water to a boil, then turn down to
a simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the lentils are
tender. Remove the bay leaf.
While the lentils are cooking, preheat the oven to 350 F. Put
the head of garlic on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes.
After it has cooled, squeeze the garlic out of the skin and into
a food processor or blender. Puree with the tomatoes and juice.
Set aside.
Put the 1/4 cup water in a skillet or large saucepan and turn
the heat to medium. Add the onion, the cumin and oregano.
Cook until soft. Add the carrot and red pepper and cook until
tender. Add chili puree, the potatoes, and the tomato-garlic
puree and cook for 10 minutes at medium-low heat.
Combine the lentils and liquid with the vegetables. Cook over
low heat for 30 minutes, covered. Test for salt and chili flavor.
If not hot enough, add some chili powder. Just before serving,
sprinkle the cilantro on top (if desired).
Notes:
* Toasting herbs and spices: Use a small and heavy skillet.
Place the herb or spice in the skillet over low heat. Shake
the skillet until the aroma of the herb or spice is released.
Be careful not to burn them. Then grind the spice if necessary.
** Chipotle chilies are jalapenos that have been smoked and
dried. They are pretty hard to find dry (Epicurean
Specialty, WestWorks, Inc, San Francisco, CA 94121 is
one company that sells them. They also sell other dried
things like mushrooms, chives, etc.), but most Mexican
groceries carry cans of the chilies packed in sauce.
Puree a whole can and store the puree in the refrigerator.
They keep forever. For Bay Area readers: You can get
"fresh" chipotle chilies at the Marin and SF Ferry Plaza
Farmer's markets sometimes. I'm not sure which week
the farm sells at which market, though.

Serve over polenta, rice, noodles, etc. Obviously, delete and add vegetables to your taste! For those who prefer more spicy, add a can of green chilies or even some jalapenos. For those who prefer is milder, add a chopped tomato, or serve ff yogurt or sourcream to "soften" it a bit. Chili sauce dried chilies, read package for "mild" or "hot" to your taste, soak in boiling water for at least 1 hour, over night is okay. Blend the chilies in blender until smooth, addingthe soaking liquid to the right consistency. If you want it really smooth, you will need to strain it as some of the skin remains in pieces.

Some water or vegie broth Two large onions, chopped Four cloves garlic (large cloves, mash these) Spices (Just keep ratios approximately, it is actually very good to areplace teaspoon with tablespoon here) [not very many of my friends liked it that spicy] 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon tumeric 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 to 1 teaspoon cayenne 1/2 teaspoon paprika 2 diced sweet potatos 2 diced zuccini 2 diced summer squash 1 diced carrot 2 diced tomatoes 1 diced bell (green) pepper 2 or 1 (depending if you like the buggers) cans garbanzo beans (drained) raisins (however many you like, I used a cup of raisins). Saute onions, garlic and spices in water or vegie broth. Add sweet potatoes, zuccini summer squash and carrots. Let stew. Add tomatoes, bell pepper and garbanzos. Let stew. Add raisins.

Date: Fri, 02 Jul 93 13:47:12 EDT From: jfrawley@mailbox.syr.edu MUSHROOM BARLEY STEW One thing I discovered. I bought dry garbanzo beans and cooked them up; they are so much better than the canned ones! I am a throw-it-in-the-pan-until-it-looks-right kind of cook, so these measurements are approximate. One cup cooked barley One cup cooked garbanzo beans 1/2 green pepper, chopped 1/2 red pepper, chopped 1 carrot, cut into bite-sized pieces 1/2 onion, sliced chopped mushrooms (use your favorite amount or none at all) 2 large cloves garlic, crushed One can vegetable stock (I used Hain fat-free veggie broth) Or 2 cups stock you've made yourself Spices I used: cumin tabasco sauce black pepper tamari salt (just a bit) lemon juice Here's what I did. Toss the carrots into a hot wok and cook for a few minutes, add the garlic, onions and green peppers, deglazig the pan with water or tamari. Add the mushrooms and cook just until the mushrooms start giving up their liquid. Add the garbanzo beans, barley, and vegetable stock. Add spices to taste. The tamari really worked well in this, but I only used a tablespoon for the whole recipe. The black pepper and tabasco gave it some "kick" and I threw in the cumin because I like the flavor. Add these in small amounts if you don't like things really hot. I ended up having something that was too hot because I accidentally threw in too much tabasco (I used the lemon juice to counter it, and it was fine). The salt is optional. I put in just a touch. You can add more water and/or water/tamari mix if you want to make it a little soupier. Cook it until it's really hot and serve over toasted whole wheat bread, like a sloppy joe. Even though it's been warm during the day here in the Northeast, we've still had some cool evenings, so hot food has been okay. This is good served with fruit salad or tossed salad. kwvegan vegan

In a deep pot saute the following in vegetable stock: 2 larges onions, diced 1 carrot, grated 1 green pepper, diced 2 teaspoons cumin 2 teaspoons {or more} chilli 2 teaspoons minced garlic {I also added a taco seasoning mix} Throw in 1 - 2 cups frozen corn, 1 can kidney beans, drained & rinsed, 1 tin tomatoes, and I threw in about 1 cup leftover rice & peas.

5 cups cubed pumpkin or acorn squash
1 cup cooked pinto beans *2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
(try nutritional yeast)
salt (optional)
Broil mexican chiles on foil lined baking sheet until skin is black, turning so
sides ar evenly charred. Put chilies in paper bag, close and let cool. Hold
under cool running water while you slip of the skins. Cut chilies open and
remove seeds, stems and ribs, chop and set aside. Saute onions, ginger,
chilies and jalepons (pepers) for 4 minutes (I use water w/a dash of tabsco) or
until softened. Add tomatoes, cumin, garam masala and turmeric and cook for 5
minutes, stirring often. Add 2 cups water and the squash/pumpkin. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until squash is
tender. Stir in pinto beans and parmesan/yeast heat through. Add salt to
taste if desired.

It sounds complicated, but its nice to make something differetn/special and I
have made it without to much trouble. The only 'long' part is the chilies
which really is not to bad. And some herbs can be sunstitued if your
herb/spice supply is not extensive. I don't alwasy make the garam masal
myself.
GARAM MASALA:
5 tsp coriander seeds 1 Tbsp. cumin seeds 1 Tbsp black peppercorns
1 tsp whole cloves 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp green cardomon pods
toast coriander and cumin seeds for 3-5 min. combine w/other ingredients and
grind in mortar/pestle (or blender which works great for me). Store in a
bottle for up to 6 months. This is a great spice mixture! But normly I don't
have those spices on hand so I cook without it. But you might consider it
worth investing in as its a neat combination of spices for cooking.

With potato masher, mash vegetables into broth to make a thick chunky mixture. (Garbanzo beans will not mash as thoroughly as other vegetables; leave as is for extra texture.) Stir in parsley and pepper. Serve immediately. Makes 6 (1 1/2 cup) servings. TIP: To speed preparation, use food processor with metal blade to chop onion, celery, and garlic. Replace metal blade with thin slicing disk; slice potatoes and carrots on top of chopped vegetables. Remove all vegetables from bowl.

Note that banana squash are huge and are usually sold in chunks.) 1 medium onion, diced into 1/2 inch squares or finely chopped 1 tsp dried oregano salt 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped 2 Tbl ground red chili, preferably New Mexican (I used 1 Tbl ground red chili and 1 Tbl paprika, which she recommends for a less spicy stew.) 1 Tbl flour 3 1/2 cups water 1 green bell pepper, diced into 1/2 inch squares 1/2 cup non-fat sour cream or non-fat yogurt, optional chopped cilantro for garnish, if desired Drain hominy, rinse it briefly and set it aside. Peel squash and cut it into 1/2 inch cubes. Saute onion, squash and oregano in a non-stick skillet. Add a little water if it sticks. Season lightly with salt. Cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Add garlic, ground chili, and flour. Stir well. Add hominy and water. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook for about 45 minutes. Add green pepper and continue cooking until squash is completely tender and the pepper is cooked, about 15 minutes. Taste for salt. Garnish with cilantro. If desired serve with a dollop of non-fat sour cream or yogurt. kwvegan vegan

Add beans and some juice from Quintabean soup and heat through. YUM. Quintabean Soup --------------- 1 c dry pinto beans 1 c dry kidney beans 1 c lima beans (or white beans) 8 c water 2 onions, chopped 2 bay leaves 1 tsp basil 2 tsp paprika 2 tsp celery seed 1 c black beans 4 c water 1/2 c yellow split peas (or lentils) 2 tsp dill weed 1/2 tsp cumin Place 8 cups water in a large soup pot. Add pinto, kidney, and lima beans, onions, bay leaves, basil, paprika, and celery seed. Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour. After one hour, add the black beans and 4 cups of water. Continue to cook for anouther hour. Then add the split peas or lentils, the dill and cumin. Add more water if soup is too thick. Continue to cook for 1 more hour. HELPFUL HINTS: This base also makes a delicious stew. During the last hour of cooking, when the split peas are added, you may add chunks of vegetables, such as: 2 potatoes, 1 carrot, 1 cup green beans. Then 1/2 hour before serving, add some chopped zucchini and chopped spinach or cabbage. Try this in a slow cooker. Combine all ingredients in a crock pot, except use only 10 cups of water. Cook on low about 10-12 hours, or on high for 5-6 hours. kwvegan vegan

From: williams@vmark.co.uk (Pete Williams)
I made this last week as a variation on the beans-and-rice theme. Next
time, I plan to try using dried beans, rather than canned ones; I
think the cruchier texture of dried chickpeas will add to the
contrast.
Three Bean Stew
---------------
4 oz. green lentils
1 carrot, diced
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 inch stick of cinnamon
2 whole cloves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbs tomato paste, diluted with 1/2 cup water
1 bay leaf
1 14-oz can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 14-oz can chick peas, rinsed and drained
1 cup vegetable broth
1-2 hot red chillies, chopped
1. Put the lentils in a pot with 2 cups of cold water. Bring to the boil,
and let it simmer for 20 mins. After 10 minutes, throw in the carrot.
2. Toast the cumin seeds in a small cast-iron pan, throw in the oregano,
leave for a few seconds, then tip them into a spice grinder. Add the
cinnamon and cloves, and grind them all together. Add the salt and
paprika, and set aside.
3. Water-saute the onion and garlic. While it is cooking, add the spice
mixture. When the onion is soft, add the diluted tomato paste, and
allow to simmer for a couple of minutes longer.
4. Tip the lentils, with their cooking water, into the pot with the
onions and spices. Add the bay leaf, canned beans, and chopped
chillies, with enough broth to cover the beans, but not too much -
this is a stew, not a soup. Simmer for another 10-15 mins.
5. Serve with rice and garlic pickle.
Enjoy!

Date: Mon, 16 Aug 93 09:30:15 PDT From: KarenIn the spirit of all the squash and soup recipes, I thought I'd post one of my favorite soup recipes, Zuni Stew. This may sound a little weird, but the taste and different textures make this delicious. This stew takes its ingrediants from the natural bounty of New Mexico, home of the Zuni tribe. Zuni Stew 1 large onion, chopped 2-3 cloves garlic 2 large bell peppers (1 red, 1 green is nice and colorful) 1 large Anahiem chili 1 jalepeno chili 5 cups broth 1 zuchinni, sliced thin 1 yellow crook-neck squash, sliced thin 1 to 2 cups winter squash, cubed 1 can corn (no-salt, or drain and rinse) 1 can pinto beans (no-salt, or drain and rinse) Saute the first 5 ingredients in a large pot for 15-20 minutes, or until all peppers and chilis are soft. Saute in a little broth to keep from sticking. Do not short change this step! Sauteing the chilis makes them release their volitile oils (do I sould like Graham Kerr? ;). This makes the both nice and spicy. It also keeps you from burning the #@%*&! out of your mouth when you eat a spoonful of the chilis. Add the broth and the winter squash. Cover and cook 5-10 minutes, until squash starts to get tender. Add zuchinni and crook-neck. Simmer 5. Add corn and beans and heat through. This stew is nice to look at (red, yellow, green, brown) and it reheats well. kwvegan vegan
