While it’s sunny and mid-70’s here in Arizona, it is cold and miserable in most of the country this week. My home state of New York was bombarded with multiple FEET of snow. So what could be better than a warm, comforting bowl of Hearty Vegetable Stew done vegan-style?

This is a stove-top meal and takes about 45 minutes from start to finish.

My secret weapon? Portobello mushrooms cut into large 1″ to 1-1/2″ pieces.

Sauteed over high heat in a small amount of oil and McCormick Grill Mates Pub Burger Seasoning really gives this dish flavor. If you can’t find this particular seasoning, I would add worcestershire (vegan) and any grilling seasoning blend that you like.

The gravy is super easy as well. It’s just vegetable broth, flour and Gravy Master. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.

Serve with our Mashed Potato Pillow Rolls and a bit of vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance Buttery Spread) to mop up all of that yummy gravy! 🙂
