Vegetarian Green Chili Stew

Vegan Green Chile Recipe


Make your own homegrown Vegetarian Green Chili Stew in the fall and winter months! This recipe is completely vegan & vegetarian for those of you who want a hearty healthy vegan meal. 


VEGETARIAN GREEN CHILE STEW RECIPE:

Ingredients:
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 cups roasted homegrown green chiles, peeled, deseeded, and diced
  • Mushrooms (optional)
  • 3-5 Potatoes, diced (optional, but we love potatoes in this!)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2-4 Garlic Cloves, chopped finely
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1½ tsp cumin
  • 1½ tsp Mexican Oregano (dried, or use fresh if you got it)
  • 1 tsp pepper (white or regular)
  • 2 tbsp flour (if you use potatoes, you can not use flour if desired, which also makes this vegan stew gluten-free)
  • 2 cups water (or more if needed)
  • 1-2 Cups / Cans of Pinto Beans or Cannellini Beans (optional, we love to make beans from dried beans, but you can also use canned beans, we rinse canned beans with water first.)
  • fresh cilantro (optional)
  • fresh diced avocado (optional)

Directions:
Heat large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add 1½ tbsp of olive oil and mushrooms to brown (optional, feel free to omit if you don't like mushrooms).  Sauté the garlic, onion, potatoes, salt, cumin, oregano and pepper for a couple minutes to brown. Add flour and stir until it starts to turn brown, then add Hatch green chiles, water, and mushrooms. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, add beans (optional),  then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour to combine flavors. 

Alternative Crockpot Version:
Brown mushrooms, onions, potatoes and garlic in a cast iron pan, then add everything to the crockpot and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 6-8 hours. 

Spoon into bowls and serve with fresh tortillas and cilantro, we also like to top this vegan stew with diced avocados, shredded cheese (optional) and fresh onions. Enjoy!
