Yellow beans stew – 20 minutes nourishing and healthy meal
Larisa Iernutan
I will continue the series of extremely easy homemade recipes that are both healthy and tasty, with an absolutely wonderful dish: yellow beans stew.Basically, it is a dish that contains yellow string beans to which we add various vegetables, for extra taste and flavor. All these veggies will be complimented by chicken or turkey meat, and later cooked in a homemade tomato juice.
First, it is important to peel and rinse the vegetables; Also, if you use canned yellow beans, drain them, using a sieve. If you use fresh yellow beans, then rinse and cut the yellow string beans into smaller pieces;
Grate the vegetable using a vegetable grater. I used the Thermomix 5 SEC – SPEED 5;
If you choose to add meat, cut the chicken/ turkey into small pieces;
Now, select the BROWN/ SAUTEE program of the Crockpot Express Multicooker for 5 minutes. Once heated, add the lard/ vegetable oil, the grated vegetables and the meat and season them with salt. Black pepper and sweet paprika. Then, cook them by stirring occasionally without the lid.
Once the program has ended, add the tomato juice and the bay leaves. Add more salt, if necessary;
Close the lid and cook the yellow beans stew for 20 minutes using the MEAT/ STEW program of the multicooker.IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that you can also cook the yellow beans stew in a slow cooker or a simple pot.
Optional: By the end of the cooking process, if you feel like the stew is too thin, add a mixture made of 1 tbsp of flour and water into the hot stew. Mix continuously until the mixture is fully incorporated. This will thicken your stew.
Serve the yellow beans stew hot at lunch or dinner, it is up to you.
