Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 4 cups sliced mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, no salt added
- 3/4 cup aquafaba
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or pierced
- 1/2 tsp thyme, dried
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 Tbsp miso, yellow or white
- 3 cups chopped kale
- 1/2 lemon
Optional sides: Rice or other whole grain of choice, baked potato, garlic mashed potatoes, rainbow salad
Instructions
Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and dry or water saute for 3 minutes.
Add sliced mushrooms, put the lid on to help release the water, and continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes.
While the mushrooms are cooking, take the tip of a sharp knife and carefully pierce the cherry or grape tomatoes. Alternatively, slice them in half. Doing this helps them to break down faster during cooking.
Remove the lid and add the tomatoes, garlic, chickpeas, dried thyme, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, aquafaba, and miso paste. Give it a good stir to break down the miso paste and ensure all the seasonings are well incorporated. Put the lid back on and continue cooking over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
Finally, remove the lid and stir in the chopped kale. Put the lid back on to finish wilting the kale. Turn off the heat and let sit for a few minutes.
When ready to serve, top with a squirt of fresh lemon juice. Enjoy this delicious stew on its own or with a side of rice, other whole grain of choice, baked potato, garlic mashed potatoes, or rainbow salad.
Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to four months.
