Mexican vegetable and yellow wax bean stew

Mexican vegetable and yellow wax bean stew is served warm as the second course, with browned chicken wings. You can skip the first course, and the beans and vegetables stay in pieces in a light sauce, with the wings simmered until cooked through. For the wings, I choose pieces that are close in size so they all turn tender at the same time in the pot. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 88 minutes. Total time: 108 minutes. Servings: 4.

Ingredients
- 300 g yellow wax beans
- 1500 ml water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 320 g Bonanza Mexican vegetable mix (thawed)
- 500 g chicken wings
- 30 ml oil
- 4 medium onions (600 g)
- 3 roasted red peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 250 ml water
- 15 g dill
Preparation
1. Put the yellow wax beans on to boil in 1500 ml water with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Boil for 10 minutes, until tender but still holding their shape, then drain. 2. Mix the cooked beans with the thawed Mexican vegetables. 3. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Heat 30 ml oil in a pot and brown them for 10 minutes, turning them on all sides. Transfer them to a plate. 4. In the same pot, cook the finely chopped onion in the remaining oil for 8 minutes, until golden. Add the roasted red peppers cut into small pieces and cook everything over low heat for 15 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. 5. Add the vegetable and bean mixture, then 250 ml water. Cook for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. 6. Return the wings to the pot and cook for another 25 minutes, until cooked through near the bone. Stir in the finely chopped dill at the end.
Notes
I serve it with warm polenta. When planning the meal, allow a few extra minutes for large wings compared with small ones, even if they brown at the same rate. The Mexican mix can release water as it thaws, so I drain it before adding it, especially if I want a thicker sauce. The stew keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days in a covered container; if you cook it ahead, add the dill only when reheating. Reheat over low heat and add a tablespoon of water only if the sauce has thickened too much.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use drumsticks instead of wings?
Yes, use bone-in drumsticks and leave them in the sauce for about 35 minutes after adding the water, until cooked through near the bone.
Will canned green beans work?
Yes, rinse and drain 300 g, then add them to the stew only for the last 5 minutes, just long enough to heat through.
What should I do if the sauce is still too thin?
Cook the stew uncovered for another 6-8 minutes, until some of the liquid has evaporated.
Can I use raw peppers instead of roasted ones?
Yes, cut them into small pieces and cook them for 8-10 minutes after the onion is golden, before adding the Mexican mix.
