Mushroom & Veggie Pepper Pot–Style Stew

Ingredients

16 oz portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch scallions, diced
1 red bell pepper, medium dice
1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
1 bag frozen sweet potatoes (or 1–2 cups fresh, diced)
1 bag frozen chopped spinach or 1–2 cups fresh spinach
2 (15-oz) cans cannellini beans, rinsed & drained
3–4 cups vegetable broth (hot)
½ cup coconut milk
1 Tbsp tomato paste or gochujang paste
Seasonings
Garlic powder, to taste
Smoked paprika, to taste
Ginger powder, to taste
Dried thyme, to taste ( or fresh )
Allspice, a pinch
Salt as needed

To Finish
Cilantro or parsley, chopped
Lime wedges

Instructions

-Heat a neutral high-heat oil (avocado oil works well) in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms and sear until browned. 👉 Remove half of the mushrooms and set aside for topping later.

-To the same pot, add scallions and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.

-Stir in garlic powder, smoked paprika, ginger powder, and tomato paste (or gochujang).
Cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

-Add frozen vegetables, sweet potatoes, cannellini beans, and 3–4 cups hot vegetable broth.
Season with thyme, allspice, and salt to taste.

-Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 10–12 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

-Stir in coconut milk, then add spinach. Cook just until spinach wilts.

Top with reserved mushrooms, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lime.
