Hi. My standard is Italian stew. 1pot meal. (I make a space in the stew at 5 mins to go, pile in cous cous. Soaks up the gravy and it is all in 1 pot)
________________________
1 red onion. Cut into 1/4s
1sweet potato. Medium size. Cut chunky pieces

Garlic. Whole cloves Just pop them out their jackets

Throw everything in pot .... More.....

1 leek. Chunks/ round dollars
1 red or orange pepper. Cut big chunks
Kale long strips.

Those are the basics. Add any veg you like. I usually put in carrots. Cut everything chunky.

Pour olive oil. Lots. 4-5 tablespoons. Or more.
Dried mixed herbs. 4 tablespoons

Mix and leave 15min - to 8hrs. Great meal to prep for people coming over.

Then! Super important. 1 cup/mug of COLD water. Possible needs more but usually not. Depends if you've Put water retaining veg in like mushrooms or courgettes( zucinni)

Pot on stove. Cold water in. Turn on medium heat. Keep lid tight. Tight lid important.

15 mins! Voila! If you make rice or cous cous the gravy from the veg stew is stunning.

Enjoy!
