This stew is packed with savory veggies and hearty beans, but the mushrooms are the star flavor. Feel free to use a combination of cremini, white button and wild mushrooms (including shiitake and oyster), but opting for a single variety will work wonderfully, too. Did you know that mushrooms have about 15 vitamins and minerals, are rich in antioxidants and even offer a bit of protein? You’ll want to soak up every bit with some crusty homemade bread. And if you’re looking for more magical mushroom dishes, be sure to try this vegetarian mushroom-bean chili, too.
