HOW TO MAKE VEGETABLE STEW RECIPES

Steps:

• Place 2 tablespoons flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large resealable plastic food bag; add pork cubes. Tightly seal bag; turn bag several times to coat pork well.
• Melt butter in 4-quart saucepan until sizzling; add pork. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 7-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 cups water and all remaining ingredients except parsley. Cook over medium-high heat 3-4 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil. Reduce heat to low; continue cooking 30-40 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender. Remove bay leaf.
• Combine remaining 1 tablespoon flour and remaining 1/4 cup water in small bowl. Stir into stew. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 3-5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Garnish each serving with parsley, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and glistening, about 6 minutes. Add the paprika and 1 teaspoon salt; cook until the oil turns deep red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and cook until just toasted, 30 more seconds. Immediately whisk in 4 cups water. Add the kielbasa, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
• Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cover and cook until the vegetables are tender and the broth has thickened, about 20 minutes. Add the vinegar and season with pepper.
• Combine about half of the parsley with the sour cream in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Ladle the stew into bowls; top with the remaining parsley, a dollop of herbed sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika. Serve with bread.
