Beetroot and Almond Stew

Daily Bread Co-Operative

Beetroot & Almond Stew
Prep Time: 15M
Cooking Time: 30M
Serves: 4

This beetroot and almond stew from our friends at the Daily Bread Co-Operative is a delicious, gut-friendly dish. Beetroot is a great root vegetable to add to dishes and is more versatile than some think.

When preparing, try to limit the mess and peel under a running tap in the sink. Don’t always cook it, as you can grate it over salads and into sandwiches and wraps. It’s deliciously sweet and crunchy raw!  

There's more where this came from!

1 tbsp coconut oil
1 red onion, halved and sliced

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a lidded saucepan. Add the red onion and stir for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the beetroot, carrot, pumpkin seeds, coriander, ginger and cumin. Stir to coat in the oil and to allow the spices to heat and release their flavour.
  2. Add the stock and cover with the lid. Simmer gently for 25-30 minutes until the vegetables are soft, but not mushy. You still want a little bite.
  3. Stir in the greens and the chickpeas and simmer until heated through and the greens are wilted.
  4. For the almond topping, heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan and add the oats, garlic salt and almonds. Stir over a medium heat until toasted.
  5. Serve the stew on to 4 plates with your grains of choice and sprinkle over the almonds and oats mix.
