Pasta e Fagioli might translate to pasta and beans, but that undersells just how delicious this is. It’s hearty enough to have for dinner, and perfect for the cooler weather. Is it a soup? Is it a stew? Either way I love simmering this away on a Sunday afternoon and then having tasty food for days to come!
I was after something for dinner that was hearty and warming but still packed with veggies. This eggplant capsicum goulash was an excellent answer. It’s both full of veggies and flavour and left me super satisfied afterwards. It’s vegan friendly too!
After another winter with lots of curries I decided to mix things up and this pumpkin and israeli couscous tagine was the answer! It’s warming, hearty and delicious, and quick enough for a mid-week meal. Plus, it makes for excellent leftovers as well!
The end of daylight savings signalled the start of rather chilly evenings here in Melbourne so it was quickly time to pull out the warming dinner options. I spent ages trying to decide whether this recipe is a stew or a soup but really, at the end of the day I guess it doesn’t actually make all that much difference – all that matters is that it’s tasty! So, let’s call it an Autumn vegetable stew and get cooking!
After making lots of soups and curries I wanted to make a different kind of hearty meal for the cold, wintery nights we’re finally having so a stew it is! I’ve always loved sweet potato (almost as much as normal potato!) and you can’t keep me away from chickpeas so this was definitely right up my alley. The combination of lots of veggies and spices made for a delicious, warming meal which also made lots of leftovers to stock my freezer for the weeks ahead.
