I’m trying to get this recipe to you in between taking care of a sick husband and a stir-crazy toddler…envious of me right now???
Didn’t think so!
Ok, here it is! My new “go-to” stew!!!
It looks like a lot of ingredients, but it’s a really easy recipe to throw together…literally, just throw it together! Feel free to modify, if you don’t have shallots, use an onion. If you don’t have quinoa, try brown rice. If you don’t have almond butter, use peanut butter. No coconut oil? Use olive oil! I’m pretty sure this recipe is fool-proof!
Curried Quinoa and Black Bean Stew
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 shallot, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 stalks of celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped

1/2 cup dry quinoa
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

I tried this easy dish, was very delicious.
I’ve made black bean and quinoa chili, but I love the idea of adding curry!!
Sounds great & I think I have evertything (some great sub suggestions you’ve made will do!). Going to make it for Brian & I to dip into tomorrow. Thanks Crissy.
Crissy. Had all the ingredients and made this tonight. Was super easy and quite delicious. I added a squeeze of lime juice to give it a little kick of flavor. Highly recommend.
Making this right now and it smells soooo good! Thanks for the sub suggestions….always helps!!
It’s raining cats and dogs. I’m tired from a long day of teaching 7th and 8th grade students. On my way home my daughter and I decided we would make this recipe! It was amazing!!! The ginger and curry were a perfect comfort combination of flavors! Sooo delicious!!! I even added a dollop of Greek plain yogurt! Thank you for this amazing recipe and thank you Travis Manach for sharing this site with me!
