On May 18, Kirsten Bloemen from Geen Bladje Sla led a beginner's vegan cooking mini-course at Healthy Lifestyle Day by Santé. Experience her flavorful vegan stew recipe—a testament to delicious plant-based eating.
This recipe from Kirsten Bloemen of Geen Bladje Sla proves vegans needn't miss out on favorites. 'It was so delicious! I'm totally excited about this. My boyfriend was even happier than I was, because in his non-vegetarian days, stew was always his favorite with fries—satay sauce is my top pick. It's amazing this option is back!'
Cut the onions into half rings. Heat olive oil in a frying pan, sauté the onions and crushed garlic. Cut the chicken pieces smaller and fry with the onions and garlic until golden brown.
Deglaze with wine and stock. Slice the gingerbread, spread with mustard, and add to the sauce, pressing down lightly. Add soy sauce, bay leaf, cloves, thyme, pepper, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Stir once gingerbread dissolves, check thickness—add more gingerbread if too thin, or wine/stock if too thick.
Stir in cocoa powder and hash seasoning. Simmer 5 more minutes, remove bay leaf, and serve.
Many adopt vegan eating for animals, environment, or health. Kirsten from Geen Bladje Sla shared practical tips in her 'Vegan for Beginners' mini-course at Healthy Lifestyle Day by Santé on May 18.
