Mediterranean Vegan Stew

Mediterranean Vegan Vegetable Stew (46)

I’m headed on a little solo trip to NYC this morning for a 4 day photography workshop coupled with 3 days of checking out some of the best gluten-free meals the big apple has to offer. I’ll be posting oodles of pictures on Instagram if you’d like to join me in my hostel staying, subway riding, and good food finding adventures!

If it were up to Kevin, he’d live off sliced bread, sausages, hungry man meals and homemade oatmeal jars in my absence. So I made him a stew. A veggie stew. A no meat, all vegan, hearty, nourishing stew that I know he’s going to love because it tastes like Greek salad and has spinach in it. For a guy that could live off meat, he sure does love his cooked spinach!

So even though there is definitely going to be an increase of sausage consumption up in the Vogel Kraft house for the next week, this vegan stew should help balance things just a little.

A one pot meal that's lighter than your average stew but just as satisfying. Like having a Greek salad in stew form!

For Kevin, it’s sausages. For me, it’s a baked sweet potato with hemp seeds. What’s your go to meal when you just don’t have the time (or energy) to prepare anything?
