Potato stew with parsley

Potato stew with parsley is a simple, comforting, and flavorful dish, ideal for fasting days or moments when you want to enjoy a light yet hearty meal. This recipe is an excellent choice not only for those following a vegetarian diet but also for anyone who appreciates the natural flavors of vegetables. Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Number of servings: 4 Ingredients: - 1 kg potatoes (preferably new or type A) - 1 medium onion - 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil - 1 bunch of fresh parsley - Salt, to taste - Pepper, to taste - Optional: 1-2 carrots for extra color and sweetness Instructions: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by peeling the potatoes and, if you choose to use carrots, peel those as well. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes (about 2-3 cm), which will ensure even cooking. If using carrots, slice them into rounds or cubes, depending on your preference. 2. The onion: Finely chop the onion. This will add a sweet and aromatic flavor to the stew. Try to choose a quality onion, preferably a white or yellow onion, which are sweeter. 3. Sautéing the vegetables: In a large pot, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. This will bring the flavors to life and form the base of the stew. 4. Cooking the potatoes: Add the potatoes and, if you chose to use carrots, add them now. Mix well to coat the vegetables with oil and combine them with the sautéed onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. 5. Adding water: Cover the vegetables with water (about 500 ml, but you can adjust depending on how moist you want the stew). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let everything simmer on low heat, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. 6. Finishing the dish: Once the vegetables are cooked, pour the stew into a bowl and generously sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top. This will add a touch of freshness and balance the flavor. 7. Serving suggestion: Serve the potato stew warm, alongside a fresh green salad or pickles, to complete the meal. It is also delicious the next day, so feel free to make a larger batch. Practical tips: - If you want a more intense flavor, add a few chopped garlic cloves during the onion sautéing. - You can experiment with other herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to give the stew a different note. - This recipe can be adapted with other vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers, to create delicious variations. This potato stew with parsley is not only an easy dish to prepare, but it is also a healthy choice, full of nutrients and flavors. Whether you serve it on fasting days or as part of a family meal, it will surely bring joy to your table!
