In a good lean stew there are carrots, tomatoes, celery, potatoes, parsley, rice… It is delicious, light and smells of home-cooked food.

We can easily categorize this colorful lean stew as a vegan dish, because there are no animal products in it. We know that people who follow a completely plant-based diet also have special requirements for fat. If the oil is not suitable, it can be replaced with cold pressed fat and then all conditions will be met.

This is more of an autumn than a summer recipe, because autumn comes with all the abundance of fruits and vegetables.

You will probably be surprised by the presence of black pepper grains in the stew. If you haven’t cooked this way before, give it a try. It gives a pleasant taste to potato dishes. Try adding a little in a lean clay vessel (“gyuvech”) and you will be convinced.

And our colorful lean stew, like any other, needs soft bread to dip in the delicious sauce. Spicy peppers and a clove of garlic will also come in handy. Maybe a very simple tomato and onion salad to make it perfect.
