Notes

  1. Cremini mushrooms are also called baby bellas, portobellini's or brown button mushrooms. You can also use white button mushrooms.
  2. You can use any red wine that you have on hand. You can also omit it if you prefer and just use extra vegetable stock.
  3. Vegetable stock is the same thing as 'vegetable broth'.
  4. The baby potatoes are sliced in half (no need to peel them first). You can also substitute peeled and chopped regular white potato (any variety) instead of the baby potatoes. 
  5. The dark soy sauce is a lower sodium soy sauce that is also darker in color. However, you can also just use regular soy sauce if that's what you have on hand. 
  6. The coconut sugar is added in to balance the flavors and does not in any way result in a 'sweet' taste for the stew. However, you can omit it, or substitute light brown sugar instead. 
  7. Leftovers keep very well in the fridge for 4-5 days and can be reheated in the microwave or on the stove. 
  8. This stew is also freezer friendly for up to 3 months if you want to freeze any leftovers.
