How To Make Black Bean, Cauliflower, and Sweet Potato Stew [Vegan]

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. In a baking dish, toss the sweet potato cubes with a little olive oil and spread them out evenly. Cover dish with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until partially cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. Heat up 2-3 tablespoons olive oil a big pot. Reduce to medium heat and sauté for 6 minutes the onion, red pepper, tomatoes, oregano, cumin, paprika, and clove. Add a little water if ingredients stick to the bottom.
  3. Add beer, vegetable stock, and tomato paste. Add the 3 cups of black beans and simmer with cover on for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove 1 1/2 cups of stew base (with some beans) to a separate pot and process with a handheld blender until thick. Pour this back into the stew pot and mix well.
  5. Add partially cooked sweet potatoes and raw cauliflower florets to the stew and simmer for 15-20 minutes with lid partially on, stirring from time to time. Simmer until the potatoes are fork tender.
  6. Season with sea salt and ground pepper to taste. Add some almond milk to reduce acidity (optional).
  7. Let the stew sit off the heat to marinate for 15 minutes before serving. The potatoes and black beans can soak up some stock and beer. Add more vegetable stock according to taste. Adjust salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread.
