Spain is known for making some great stews, and this Spanish White Bean Stew with Roasted Peppers is no exception. It´s loaded with flavors, super easy to make and comes together in a little over 40 minutes.
My favorite part about this stew is the simplicity of it. No fancy ingredients, no special equipment and it fills your body with so much goodness. The perfect dish for any time of the year, but extra special during these cold winter months.
The roasted peppers I used to make this stew are Spanish Pimientos del Piquillo. If you can´t find them in your area, you can just use regular jarred roasted red bell peppers, or you can even roast your own at home.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I used jarred cooked white beans, which is the same thing as the canned ones. If you prefer, you can use dry white beans. Just soak for 24 hours in cold water and then boil between 2 to 4 hours or until tender.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
MY SWISS DIAMON FRYING PANS
HOMEMADE VEGETABLE BROTH
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
SPANISH PIMIENTOS DEL PIQUILLO
SPANISH SEA SALT

01 . Feb . 2021Made this for dinner last night and it was wonderful! My local grocery no longer carries jarred roasted peppers and rather than drive all over town looking for them, I just roasted my own. I made a couple of substitutions – i’m not a HUGE fan of vegetable broth so used chicken broth, had fresh time on hand for tonight’s dinner so threw in a few stems of that, and added some shredded chicken. It was hearty, warming, tasty and low calorie to help keep off the quarantine pounds! Definitely a keeper.

Your recipe calls for 4 jarred red peppers, but in your video it looks like just 4 pieces…about the equivalent of one red bell pepper. Is that correct?

Jarred roasted red bell peppers are much smaller here in spain, as they are pimientos del piquillo, if you are roasting your own standard red bell pepper, you can just use 1 red bell pepper 🙂 much love
