Hearty Ten Vegetable Stew

healthy-stew-recipes

The word stew tends to conjure memories of juicy beef and tender shredded chicken, but vegetarian stews can be just as satisfying.

This one, from The America’s Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook, uses the best of the fall veggie harvest to make a rich, flavorful stew that’s every bit as filling as meaty versions — but with fewer calories per serving.

healthy-family-cookbook

Serves 8

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. cooking oil, divided

1 lb. white mushrooms, cleaned and sliced thin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

8 oz. Swiss chard, stems (chopped fine) and leaves (sliced in 1/2-inch pieces) separated

2 medium onions, minced

1 rib celery, cut 1/2-inch pieces

1 medium carrot, peeled, halved, and sliced 1” thick

1 medium sweet red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into 1/2” pieces

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp. minced fresh thyme (or ½ tsp. dried)

2 Tbsp. flour

2 Tbsp. tomato paste

½ cup dry white wine

3 cups vegetable broth

2 ½ cups water

2 medium red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1” pieces

3 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1” pieces

8 oz. celery root, peeled and cut into 1” pieces

2 bay leaves

1 medium-size zucchini, seeded and cut into 1/2” pieces

¼ cup minced fresh parsley

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, cover, and cook until the mushrooms are very wet, for about 5 minutes.

2. Uncover and continue to cook until the mushrooms are dry and browned, for 5 to 10 minutes.

3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, chard stems, onions, celery, carrot, bell pepper and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and cook until the vegetables are well browned, for 7 to 10 minutes.

4. Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, for about 30 seconds. Stir in the flour and tomato paste and cook until lightly browned, for about 1 minute. Stir in the wine, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer until nearly evaporated, for about 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, water, potatoes, parsnips, celery root and bay leaves and bring to a simmer.

5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover, and cook until the stew is thickened and the vegetables are tender, for about 1 hour. Stir in the zucchini and chard leaves and continue to simmer until tender, for 5 to 10 minutes.

6. Discard the bay leaves and stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Sweet Potato Stew with Maple Roasted Pork

healthy-stew-recipe

Picture courtesy of Hungry Poodle

One staple of the cold-weather pantry is the sweet potato, and not only because of its namesake natural sugars. They are an excellent source of complex carbs, vitamins, and antioxidants.

When combined with succulent pork as a protein, plus pecans and maple syrup for some extra fall flavor, sweet potatoes make a stew that’s as awesome as it is easy.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 tsp. olive oil

1 small onion, diced

1 garlic clove, sliced

2 tsp. dried sage

1 ½ lbs. sweet potatoes or yams, cut into 1” cubes

4 cups water

8 oz. parsnips, peeled and cut into a large dice

½ tsp. 1/8 tsp. salt

Fresh ground black pepper to taste

½ cup pecan pieces

4 tsp. pure maple syrup

Spray cooking oil

16 oz. pork tenderloin

Instructions

1. Place the olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until the onions soften slightly.

2. Add the sweet potatoes, stir and then add the water. Increase the heat to medium high and when the water begins to boil reduce the heat until it is simmering. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes. As the sweet potatoes begin to soften use a spoon or spatula to break them up slightly.

3. Add the parsnips, 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper. Stir, and reduce the heat to medium low.

4. Place a large skillet in the oven, and preheat to 425°F. While the stew is simmering, place a sheet of wax paper on the kitchen counter.

5. Place the pecans in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Watch the nuts closely and as they begin to brown reduce the heat to medium. Add the 1/8 tsp. salt. Cook for about one minute more, until the pecans are browned.

6. Add 2 tsp. maple syrup and let it bubble for about ten seconds shaking the pan vigorously to coat the pecans well. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir the pecans. Turn them out of the pan onto the wax paper to cool. Separate them from each other just after placing on the wax paper so that they won’t stick together.

7. When the parsnips are just tender, the stew should be thicker and the sweet potatoes soft. Continue to stir occasionally.

8. When the oven is hot, spray the pan lightly with oil. Add the pork tenderloin, and return the pan to the oven. Cook for about 5 minutes, and then turn the pork. Drizzle the remaining 2 tsp. maple syrup over the tenderloin, and return the pan to the oven. Cook for about 10 minutes more, turning at least once, until the pork is done.

9. Remove the pork from the oven and let stand while dishing up the stew into two bowls. Slice the pork and place it on top of the stew, and then garnish with the candied pecans. Serve.

Low(er)-Fat Oyster Stew

stew-recipe-healthy

Recipe & picture courtesy of The New Thanksgiving Table

Although oyster stew is often loaded with fat from butter, heavy cream, and sometimes even bacon, it’s possible to pare it down.

This version uses whole milk in place of heavy cream as a way to balance out the macros. Of course, you can simply go with half-and-half if you want to the best of both worlds.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 pint fresh oysters with their liquid

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 ½ tsp. sweet paprika

½ tsp. celery salt

3 cups whole milk

¼ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg

Sea salt and white pepper to taste

2 Tbsp. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

1. Drain the oysters through a fine-mesh sieve placed over a small bowl to catch the oyster water. Set the oysters aside. Reserve the liquid.

2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and celery salt. Add the oysters, and bring to a simmer. Cook just until the edges of the oysters curl.

3. Add the oyster liquid to the pan, and return to a simmer. Add the milk and nutmeg, and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, but do not let the oyster stew boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Ladle the oyster stew into a warmed tureen or individual bowls, garnish with the parsley, and serve hot.

Beef Stew with Zucchini Noodles

stew-healthy-recipes

Picture & recipe courtesy of Inspiralized

The combo of noodles and beef is a classic, as in dishes like spaghetti and meatballs. But this recipe offers a totally different take with zucchini noodles and hearty beef stew.

If you don’t have a spiral slicer to prepare the zucchini, use a vegetable peeler, mandoline, or a large box grater.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 lb. beef stew chunks

1/2 red onion, diced

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 celery stalks, diced

3 carrots, peeled and diced

3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp. thyme

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes

4 cups low-sodium beef broth

2 bay leaves

4 large zucchini, spiralized with Blade A

Freshly chopped parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Place a large saucepan over medium heat, and add the olive oil. Add the beef chunks, and cook until browned. Remove from the saucepan, and set aside in a bowl.

2. In the juices left in the pan from the beef, add in the garlic to cook for 30 seconds. Then, add in the red onions and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute, and then add in the celery and carrots. Cook for 2 minutes to let the vegetables sweat, and then add back in the beef chunks.

3. Add the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and cayenne pepper, stirring to combine. Then season with salt and pepper, and add in the beef broth and diced tomatoes. Place the bay leaves on top, and cover to bring to a boil.

4. Once brought to a boil, lower to a simmer, and cook covered for 40 minutes. Then, let simmer uncovered for 35 more minutes, until the stew thickens.

5. Divide the zucchini noodles into bowls, and evenly divide the stew to spoon over top. Let the warm stew cook the noodles for a couple minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and dig in!

Greek Stewed Cauliflower

stew-healthy-recipe

Picture & recipe courtesy of Girl Makes Food

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 shallot, minced

1 head cauliflower, chopped

Zest of 1/2 orange

Lamb Stew with Chickpeas and Butternut Squash

recipe-healthy-stew

Picture & recipe courtesy of NY Times

This stew takes patience, but it’s easy to put together.

As long as you wait for the lamb to become unbelievably tender and the flavors of cumin, cardamom, and coriander to develop, you will be rewarded with a soulful stew that belongs as much in a chef’s kitchen as it does at a family table.

Serves 6

Ingredients

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. ground cardamom

1/2 tsp. ground coriander

1/4 tsp. turmeric

1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste

Pinch of cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp. salt, plus more to taste

1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

1 lb. lamb stewing meat, trimmed and cut into 1″ cubes

5 tsp. vegetable oil

1 small onion, peeled and thinly sliced

2 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced

3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 small butternut squash, peeled and cut into 3/4″ cubes

1 can (19 oz.) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Combine the spices and salt in a bowl. In a large bowl, stir together 1/4 cup flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture, add the lamb and coat well. Heat 3 teaspoons of oil in a large pot. Add lamb a few pieces at a time; don’t overcrowd. Turn the pieces until lamb is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch; add a teaspoon of oil as needed between batches.

2. Remove the lamb and set aside. Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and the onion to the pot. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 15 seconds. Stir in the lamb and remaining spice mixture. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer. Cover and cook until the lamb is tender, about 1 hour. Stir in the squash and chickpeas and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.

3. Stir 3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid into 2 tablespoons of flour to make a smooth paste. Stir the paste into the stew and cook until the broth thickens and the squash is tender, about 10 minutes longer. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide among six bowls, garnish with cilantro, and serve.

Clinically Effective Ingredients & Doses

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.

That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Clinically Effective Doses

You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Natural Ingredients

“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.

That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.

Made in USA with Globally Sourced Ingredients

If you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the USA.

That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities that operate in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.

Lab Tested

Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?

That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.

Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.

That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.
