Spiced Winter Vegetable Stew with Toasted Pistachios

This stew is hearty, flavorful, and perfect for a cold winter evening. The combination of spices creates a warm and inviting aroma, while the vegetables provide a healthy and satisfying base.

Ingredients:

  • For the Stew:
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
    • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, coarsely ground
    • 2 bay leaves
    • 1 star anise
    • 4 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional, but complements the spices)
    • 4 cups vegetable broth
    • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
    • 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
    • 1 cup chopped carrots
    • 1 cup chopped parsnips (or turnips)
    • Salt to taste
  • For the Garnish:
    • 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
    • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.  
  2. Bloom the Spices: Add the black peppercorns, bay leaves, star anise, cardamom pods, smoked paprika, and cumin (if using) to the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  3. Build the Stew: Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Add the sweet potato, butternut squash, carrots, and parsnips. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Season and Garnish: Remove the bay leaves and star anise. Season the stew with salt to taste.
  5. Toast the Pistachios: While the stew simmers, toast the pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned.
  6. Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with the toasted pistachios and fresh cilantro.

Tips and Variations:

  • Add protein: For a heartier stew, add cooked chickpeas, lentils, or your favorite protein.
  • Adjust the vegetables: Use any combination of winter vegetables you like, such as potatoes, rutabaga, or Brussels sprouts.
  • Make it creamy: Stir in a dollop of coconut cream or a tablespoon of Greek yogurt for a creamy finish.
  • Serve with: Enjoy this stew with crusty bread or a side of brown rice.

This recipe is a delicious and warming way to embrace the flavors of winter. Enjoy!

Great ball but easily broken
Size: Large
I got this ball for my two dogs, one is a 90 pound yellow lab mix and the other 45 pound black lab mix. So far only my bigger dog has played with it and has also busted it. He was playing with it for probably half an hour just chomping down to make it crinkle and crunch. It's quite the loud ball!! I noticed the sound wasn't as loud so I took a peek and noticed my dog basically crushed the inner ball into a much smaller ball. He's still having a good time with it though. It's only a matter of time though that he's going to chew the outer shell because it doesn't make noise like it did.

Dogs go for this ball every time
Size: Large, Size: Large
My Boston's and Rotti love this ball. I had to get two more. It's great for the Boston's because they can grasp it with the way it's made with the softer rubber. They love the crackle sound. It's just the right size and weight for smaller like the Boston Terrier and Rotti. Easy cleaning, rinses right off.

My strong chewer is still ..... Well, going strong! He loves his new crackle ball. He enjoys the new sound, the bounce back feeling in his jaws when chews. Mom is happy that pup hasn't put a dent in the toy yet! Price was more than reasonable too. We give it 5 Paws Up!
