Does this stew today look a little extra appealing? That’s because I was lucky enough to be the recipient of a digital SLR camera<\/a> as a holiday present from my boyfriend and parents (aw, they collaborated!). Hopefully this means I’ll be better able to represent my food from here on out, starting with this hearty stew.<\/p>\n Filling, delicious, and simple to make, this stew is filled with satisfying chunks of mushroom and white beans. I changed up the spicing from the original recipe, opting to go for a hefty dose of smoked paprika (one of my favorite spices) as I find the smoky flavor is a great complement to the fresh parsley. I was surprised at how much some freshly grated gruyere (parmesan would work also) helped to elevate the whole dish (although it is still quite tasty without for a vegan option). I’m looking forward to adapting this stew in the future – using different spices or herbs, adding fresh ginger, or, for a meatier option, tossing in some sliced sausage.<\/span><\/p>\n
