Things are looking pretty grim right now all over the world. Here in Spain, we are on our 9th day of lockdown and supermarket shelves are flying. So it´s times like these to stock up on basic pantry staples. With that being said, I´m going to show you how to make a delicious white bean & potato stew recipe using basic pantry staples.
Folks, this is what is all about during these difficult times we´re living in. Basic ingredients, easy to make and loaded with flavors. But the best part about it all, is that this stew is very healthy and will help boost your immune system.
Since this stew is made the most basic ingredients, it´s very important to use a great extra virgin olive oil. To make this stew, I used one of my personal favorites olive oils. This olive oil is insanely delicious and will take this stew to the next-level.
TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: I used jarred white beans to make this stew. Whether you use jarred or canned, make sure you rinse them under cold running water to remove any of the preservatives. I also left the skin on the potatoes, as it gives this stew a beautiful rustic flavor. On a last note, I used fresh spinach, but you can always use frozen spinach here as well .
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
MY SWISS DIAMOND FRYING PAN
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
SPANISH SEA SALT

The White Bean & Potato Stew is WONDERFUL. I have now made it at least 3 times and plan to make it a part of my cooking rotation.
I don’t use oil and I substitute the bell pepper as I don’t like them.
Thank you for you wonderful show and making your recipes available.09 . Aug . 2021
