Looking for veggie ideas. Tomorrow and for the following days I want to cook a stew based on a homesteader's new england baked beans kind of dish. I have no idea what the original is, but the recipe I have is a bit sweeter than the original according to the text, also contains smoked paprika. I'll add shredded chicken and am looking for some veg to add for a proper stew pot. Any idea? I guess paprika would fit, but I just cooked chili con carne with lots of paprika. I don't see cauliflour in this. shredded cabbage and carrot? Hmm..

    Carrot, sure. Bell pepper? Whole hominy or sweet corn kernels? Celery or chunks of celeriac? Summer squash? Winter squash (one of the firm types)? Maybe sweet potato (or is that too sweet?)?

    I think the base will be too sweet for this, but chopped up dill pickles are surprisingly good in bean soup.

    Hmm.. I'm actually thinking now of adding sauerkraut. Not sure this will work but it's worth a try.
