A dill homecoming stew

Returning from Cannes was heartened by a Thursday Stew, made by SheWhoMustBeFed. Friday's are the main shopping days for the The VegHead's larder, so Thursdays are always "What's left in the fridge and cupboard day". Dill is a lovely, soft, flavoursome herb. I wonder why the word is also used as an insult?

Serve with Quinoa.

Things that will need to be left over in the fridge come Thursday...
  • a few slices of onion - chopped
  • two cloves of garlic - crushed
  • one cup of cooked haricot beans
  • a small courgette - chopped
  • one medium sweet potato - chopped
  • 3 medium cup mushrooms - chopped
  • 1/4 cup (loosely packed) of chopped, fresh dill
  • tablespoon of dark miso (dissolved in water)
  • pinch of cumin
  • ground pepper to taste
  • olive oil
Making the stew...
  • Saute the onion and garlic
  • Add all the vegetables, the pepper and cumin. Saute for a few minutes, then cover with water. Bring to a low boil and simmer for 10 minutes
  • Add the miso and beans and simmer for an additional 5 minutes
  • Add the remaining herbs and simmer for a few minutes more
