Cook this recipe
- Yukon Gold potatoes-1 1/2 lb
- rutabaga-1 lb
- carrots-12 oz
- green cabbage-8 oz
- leeks-2 each
- vegetable broth-8 cups
- canola oil-2 tablespoons
- dried thyme-1 1/2 teaspoons
- fine sea salt-1 1/2 teaspoons
- ground black pepper-1/2 teaspoon
Prep the vegetables: peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes and rutabaga, slice the carrots, chop the cabbage, and rinse the sliced leeks well to remove grit.
Use a stable cutting board when cutting firm rutabaga, and keep the knife blade angled away from your fingers.
Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat; add the leeks and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened but not browned.
Add the Yukon Gold potatoes, rutabaga, carrots, dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of the fine sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper; stir to coat the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a steady simmer over medium-high heat, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful bits.
Bring the broth to a steady simmer gradually to reduce the chance of hot liquid splashing.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover partly, and simmer for 25 minutes, until the rutabaga and potatoes are nearly tender.
Stir in the chopped green cabbage and continue simmering uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until all vegetables are fork-tender and the broth is savory.
Keep the stew at a gentle simmer while uncovered to help prevent hot broth from splashing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper as needed, then serve the stew hot in bowls.
