I’m back for another Meatless Monday post with my love/hate ingredient- MUSHROOMS!
I’ve been finding ways to incorporate this low carb veggie into my diet. Also, this thick stew is perfect for a cold, winter night. I always crave something hearty during the winter, but often end up eating something unhealthy. This rich stew is the perfect alternative. Also any excuse to cook with wine, is fine by me!
You can eat this like a soup or over some brown rice or potatoes. I prefer to eat this as a soup- it’s perfect on its own. If the tomatoe base doesn’t float your boat- switch that out for some vegetable broth to make a thicker stew that can easily be eaten over any healthy grain.
