Mediterranean Vegan White Bean Stew With Capers and Dill
Who doesn't love a good stew, especially with the weather turning cooler. This Mediterranean Vegan White Bean Stew With Capers and Dill is my favorite stew I have made lately.
I added various mediterranean flavors such as lemon, za'atar, harissa and capers. They all work so well together and make this stew so fresh tasting. This stew is made in one pot and so easy to make also.

I came across this recipe over half a year ago when looking for a white bean stew and have made it several times since as it is delicious! What really makes it special for me is the flavour combination of dill, capers and harissa. Highly recommend and a low fodmap version omitting the garlic and onions is still super tasty.

This was SO delicious!! I love how versatile the recipe is too. I used what I had on hand and made some swaps like pinto beans in place of white beans and sundried tomato paste and crushed red pepper flakes instead of harissa and it was still amazing. I also added some red lentils to make it a but more hearty. I will definitely make this again!
