About this recipe

This hearty vegetable ground meat stew is a dish that reminds me of my vacations in Provence. The aromas of sun-ripened tomatoes, fresh herbs and the earthy taste of eggplant and zucchini immediately awaken vacation feelings. It is a dish that conveys warmth and security, perfect for cold days or simply when you are longing for something hearty. The ingredients play a crucial role in this stew. The zucchini adds a light sweetness and a pleasant texture, while the eggplant with its slightly bitter taste adds an interesting depth. The bell pepper provides color and a crunchy consistency. The ground meat, whether mixed, beef or lamb, gives the stew a hearty base and makes it a filling meal. The diced tomatoes form the basis of the sauce and bring a fruity acidity, which is enhanced by a dash of red wine. The white giant beans, also called Borlotti beans, are the icing on the cake. They are creamy, nutty and make the stew even richer. The preparation in the Thermomix® is really uncomplicated. Make sure to cut the vegetables into roughly the same size pieces so that they cook evenly. When sautéing the onions, garlic and chili, it is important to keep an eye on the temperature so that nothing burns. I always fry the ground meat separately to make sure it is nice and crumbly and develops roasted flavors. When simmering the stew in reverse, the vegetables are gently cooked and retain their shape. If you like it smoother, you can add some tomato paste at the end or puree part of the vegetables. For a vegetarian or vegan version, the ground meat can simply be replaced with a plant-based alternative, such as soy granules or lentils. Tofu, diced and fried, also goes perfectly. There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to spices. If you like it spicier, you can use more chili or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Instead of herbs of Provence, fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme or oregano can also be used. Serve the stew hot, preferably with a dollop of crème fraîche or yogurt and a piece of crusty bread for dipping. Rice or potatoes also go well with it. A fresh salad completes the dish. The stew can be prepared well in advance and stored in the refrigerator. It tastes even better when it has been infused for a day. It can also be easily frozen. So you always have a delicious and healthy meal at hand.
