Vegan Black Bean Stew Recipe

Hearty Vegan Stew

with Black Beans, Sweet Potato and Corn

When you want a hearty comfort food meal, make a pot of vegan black bean stew with sweet potatoes, corn, bell peppers and garlic.

This is a feel good meal, so it is perfect for dinner.

If you end up with leftovers, they will reheat nicely for lunch the following day.

This is a tasty one bowl meal by itself, but you can also serve it with a side salad or homemade bread.

Since this is often a cold weather dish, you may not have access to fresh corn.

Frozen corn is my first choice as an alternative, but canned is fine, too.

I am a big fan of cilantro, so I add a generous amount.

If you don’t care for this herb, you can skip it.

Enjoy this easy and filling vegan meal!
