Legumes are a great source of protein and fiber, so they’re my go-to ingredients when I’m in the mood for a warm, hearty, and meatless stew. This is, of course, a recipe that you could easily add your animal protein of choice to, but it’s not essential.
My local Food Lover’s Market’s bakery section stocks a broad variety of artisanal bread and honestly, that’s what inspired this recipe… oh and the chilly Cape Town weather of course.
Here’s my Homemade Peri-Peri Sauce recipe that I used in the stew below. The potatoes thicken naturally thicken the soup as they soften and break down. Depending on how much chicken stock or water you decide to use could easily transform this into a thick stew or thinner soup but if you stick to the below recipe, your meal will result in a thicker, luxurious stew (yum!). You can easily make this recipe using a pressure cooker or instant pot. It’ll cut about 20minutes of cooking time. It’s an easy and inexpensive stew, so enjoy it whole-heartedly!
