I don't know about you, but a very hot vegetable stew is very comforting in winter. So much so that every week I prepare one with either lentils, beans or chickpeas. East of white beans with prawns has been one of the last, do you want to try it?
The legume stews they are much easier to prepare than we usually think. This takes a bit more work because we have prepared the stock that accompanies it with the shrimp shells, but organizing it well will not take you more time than others. And the result is….
This legume stew is not only good but also has a great nutritional value. Prawns and white beans are added to its base made up of a modest vegetable sauce. You will only have to prepare a salad or include a dessert to complete your meal. I encourage you to try it.
