Spermidine-rich Stew

Spermidine-rich Stew

INGREDIENTS


  • 100 g of broccoli
  • 100 g mushrooms
  • 300 g of canned beans (soybeans, small white beans, quail beans)
  • 100 g peas (tin or frozen)
  • 150 g of potatoes
  • 1 bar of celery
  • 2 big carrots
  • 50 g coarse spelt flour
  • ½ onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt + pepper + spices + lemon zest + a dash of vinegar
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 small piece of butter (1 tbsp), 1 tbsp flour (roux)


METHOD


  1. Peel the carrots and potatoes and cut into pieces about ½ cm thick. Wash the broccoli and cut it into mouth-friendly pieces. Clean the mushrooms and cut into mouth-friendly pieces. Finely chop the onion and celery. Wash the soybeans, quail beans, canned small white beans from the tin in the strainer. Chop the garlic.
  2. Sauté onions in a large pot of oil together with celery and mushrooms. Add garlic and fry for a short time. Deglaze with 1 liter of broth. Add potatoes, broccoli, carrots, peas, beans and coarse spelt flour. Season with 1 bay leaf, salt, pepper and spices (for example some marjoram, parsley, rosemary, thyme, lovage and simmer for 20 minutes.) Season with a dash of vinegar and lemon peel.
  3. For the roux, melt 1 tbsp butter in a saucepan, add 1 tbsp flour and stir until lightly brown. Then (while stirring!) douse with broth so that no lumps arise. If this happens, pass through a sieve before adding to the stew. Bring the stew to a boil again with good stirring.
