Vegan Peanut Stew - This flavor bomb bowl of goodness will have you dreaming about the leftovers all week. It’s perfection! TheGarlicDiaries.com

Listen. LISTEN. This Peanut Stew is the epitome of life giving beauty in food form, people. I – cannot – rave – enough – about – what – is – happening – here.

First of all: the flavor. We’ve got delicious aromatics in the form of red onion and garlic. We’ve got power flavor builders like curry paste and peanut butter. And we’ve got creamy richness + savory flavor coming from the coconut milk and veggie broth.

Second: the healthiness. This stew is packed to the BRIM with tons and tons of veggies + lots of healthy fats. It honestly just doesn’t really get better than this when it comes to a well rounded dinner.

It’s everything you would need it to be. Are you vegan? It fits. Are you gluten free? Done. Are you doing a Whole 30? This fits with your plan. Are you just a meat eating person who likes delicious food and is on no particular diet or eating plan? THIS IS ALSO PERFECT FOR YOU because it’s just. good. food. Plain and simple.

One of my favorite things about this stew is the leftovers. We ate it as a stew the night I made it, and then for the rest of the week, we ate it over rice like a curry, and OH MAN, it was amazing.

It thickens up a bit in the fridge, and the flavors come together even more intensely, making it the perfect curry-like situation. I never got sick of these leftovers all week, and usually I get burned out on leftovers after just a few days.

If you’re looking for a way to pack your meals with more veggies, this stew is absolutely LOADED with them. We’ve got:

  • Cauliflower
  • Red bell pepper
  • Sweet Potato
  • Kale
  • Onion
  • Garlic

And lots of all of it. The different textures of the veggies – the soft pepper and sweet potato, the firmer cauliflower, the al dente bite of kale – paired with the rich, creamy, flavor bomb broth is such a good combo. It’s just heaven in a bowl TBH.
