This is a very easy to cook stew with very easy to find ingredients. You can even make your little twists and add more vegetables or beans you like.

 

 

This is the perfect dish for a cold winter day. If you don’t want to have a hearty soup only, which is normally my favourite winter dish, you can have this lovely stew.

 

 

 

It is very easy to cook this dish. The most important thing is to have all pieces of vegetables more or less the same size. If you don’t, then they will not cook evenly. Especially cauliflower may get mushy if you cook it too much.

 

 

With the leftovers, I do not recommend to reheat the whole pot. Instead, take only as much as you want to eat and warm that one in a little pot (or in microwave). Enjoy!
