Instructions
Place a large pot, saucepan or a wide and deep pan over medium heat. Heat up the olive oil and saute onion for 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
Add the chunky chopped carrots and mushrooms, and saute again for 5 minutes.
Add in the minced garlic and the sprigs of thyme and rosemary. Saute for 1 to two minutes, until they become aromatic.
Stir in the tomato puree/paste. Keep pan on medium heat while stirring frequently for one minute.
Deglaze with red wine. Stir in the miso paste and simmer for 1 minute.
Add potatoes, beans, vegetable broth, and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle boil (you can turn up the heat a bit for that), then cover with a lid and let the stew simmer for 30 minutes on low to medium heat. Stir occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaves, thyme and rosemary stalks.
Mix the cornstarch with a bit of water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew and simmer for 2 minutes to let thicken.
Serve the vegan stew with a garnish of fresh parsley if desired and a slice of sourdough bread or toast.
