Stay warm with this Vegan Sweet Potato Stew with Greens recipe that is filled with hearty in-season veggies. Since it’s winter now, I’m focused on leafy greens like Swiss chard and kale and hearty root vegetables like beets and sweet potatoes. Here, carrots, onions, sweet potatoes, fire-roasted tomatoes, and tender greens all combine for a cozy stew that will warm you up on a chilly day. Seasoned with earthy, warm spices, this complex vegan dish bursts with bold flavors. Finish it off with a splash of bright lime juice and garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh, citrusy flavor.
To make the stew, start by cooking the onions and carrots in olive oil. Add minced garlic and spices, and cook for a few more minutes. Then, mix in the sweet potatoes and let them soften. Next, pour in the broth and crushed tomatoes, bringing everything to a boil. Add the leafy greens and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender. Finally, stir in fresh lime juice and top with cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
To make this Sweet Potato and Greens Stew – A Comforting Vegan Dish, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large (5-quart) Dutch oven over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and add 1 diced onion and 2 diced carrots. Cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin seed, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes have softened a bit, about 5 minutes.
Add in 4 cups broth and 2 cups crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil.
Turn the heat to low, partially cover the pot with a lid, and cook for 20 - 25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender but keep their shape.
Stir in ½ bunch of baby greens and cook until just wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt if needed.
Remove from the heat and stir in ⅓ cup fresh squeezed lime juice.
Ladle the stew into bowls and top with plenty of chopped cilantro. Serve and enjoy! The leftovers will keep for about 3 days in the fridge.
