      Title: Black Bean And Root Vegetable Stew
 Categories: Main dish, Vegetarian
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
    1/2 c  Black beans, soaked
    1/2 md Turnip, cut into rounds &
           -- each round halved
    1/4 ts Nutmeg
      2 lg Carrots, quartered
      1 ts Dill weed
      3 lg Potatoes, quartered
      2 tb Parsley
      1 lg Onion, sliced
      1 md Parsnip, quartered
    1/2 ts Oregano
    1/2 c  Green peas
    1/2 c  Mushrooms, halved
           Salt & pepper
           Water or stock to cover
 
  In the bottom of a large casserole dish, arrange the turnip slices &
  sprinkle with the nutmeg.  Layer the rest of the vegetables in order,
  sprinkling in the herbs after each layer.  Top with the soaked beans.
  Pour over enough water or stock to cover & season with salt & pepper.
  Cover with a good tight-fitting lid & place in an oven pre-heated to
  300F. Cook for 3 hours.  If you desire, add dumplings & cook for a
  further 30 minutes.
  
  NOTE: I made this recipe to emphaise the taste of the root
  vegetables. Add whatever vegetables & herbs you wish.  I used black
  beans to add some protein.  If exchanging legumes, be sure to use
  ones that can stand a lot of cooking, kidney beans or chick peas, for
  example.

      2 c  Chopped onions
           Vegetable broth or white
           Wine for sauteeing
      3 c  Chopped cabbage
      1    Fresh chile, minced (seeded
           For a milder "hot") or 1/4
        ts Cayenne
      1 tb Grated fresh ginger root
      2 c  Water
      3 c  Diced sweet potatoes, cut
           Into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes
           Salt to taste
      2 c  Undrained fresh or canned
           Tomatoes
      2 c  Fresh or frozen sliced okra
      3 tb Fresh lime juice
      2 tb Chopped fresh cilantro
           Chopped peanuts (I omitted
           These)
           Sprigs of cilantro
           (optional)
 
  In a nonreactive pot, saute the onions in the broth/wine on medium
  heat for 4 or 5 minutes.  Add the cabbage and the chile or cayenne
  and continue to saute, stirring often, until the onions are
  translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the grated ginger andthe water,
  cover the pot, and bring to a boil. Stir in the sweet potatoes,
  sprinkle with salt, and simmer for 5 or 6 minutes, until the potatoes
  are barely tender. Add the tomatoes, okra, and lime juice. Simmer
  until all of the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.  Stir in
  the cilantro and add more salt to taste. Sprinkle the stew with
  chopped peanuts. Top with a few sprigs of cilantro, if you like.
