White Bean, Coconut and Roast Pepper Stew (vegan & gluten free)

July 17, 2018 / Niki / 52 Comments

I’m just back from a gorgeous weekend in Wales with my girl friends. Walking, eating, runs along the coast and all in beautiful sunshine. Feeling relaxed and rested and ready to make some new recipes for you!

But first I have another super comforting, easy and delicious idea – a gorgeously creamy white bean and roast pepper stew with three types of beans, tomatoes and a big dollop of coconut yogurt swirled in to make it beautifully creamy. It’s light enough for a summer dish but also comforting enough for winter. And just delish.

I love it on its own, or with chunks of fresh sourdough.

Enjoy xx

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

    I’ve just made a vegan feast for my daughter and granddaughter….. white bean casserole, your moussaka with rice salad and tahini dressing. They absolutely loved it and there’s loads left even though they took some home. I’ll be using more of your recipes from now on . Baked peaches with coconut yoghurt made a lovely pud.

    Hi there. This recipe looks amazing but i’m new to cooking and am getting a little confused. The recipe calls for 2 handfuls of cherry tomatoes and then 5 large or 2 cherry tomatoes. Which quanity of tomatoes does in the oven with the peppers? And from step 3 we take the raw tomatoes to cook for 5 min in thr stew and then in step 5 we take the peppers and tomatoes that were in the oven and toss in? Just making sure I am clear. Thank you so much!

      Hi Jenny
      I have just reviewed the recipe and made it a little clearer I hope!
      You add two handfuls of cherry tomatoes to roast with the peppers. Then 5 plumb or 20 cherry to the stew.
      I hope that helps?
      Best wishes

        Yes that’s correct.
        Some are roasted and some cooked in the sauce. I’ll try to make clearer.

      Hi Vanessa
      Yes absolutely, bell peppers and haricot beans are a type of white bean.
      Any white bean is great.

        Haricot beans are also used in tinned baked beans.

    I don’t want to use tomatoes so how many roast red peppers shall I use in its place? I usually do this for a tomato base recipe, ie pasta sauces instead of tomatoes

      Kim I’m confused about the tomatoes…there are two lots, it seems. One lot of tomatoes are for the oven with the peppers, is that correct? Then halfway down the Ingredients it say another 20 Cherri tomatoes??? it says add the cooked peppers so does that mean the tomatoes too??? Maybe I’m not reading this recipe well….

      Thanks Nuffy…

    Greetings from Canada! I’ve recently discovered your recipes and made two of your stunning soups in a row. I
    am now a fan!!! Just checked alternate names that we use across the pond for this recipes’ beans: haricot = navy beans; butter = lima beans; cannelini = white kidney. Cheers!!

    Hi Niki. I found you by accident on Instagram, thank goodness not a car accident, however, I love this meal. I love your tenacity as a home Chef, correct me if I’m wrong as I haven’t read much about you at this early stage, and Australian. Your site is definitely a keeper, I love it. A little problem. I am allergic to Capsicums/RedPeppers so any ideas on a replacement Vegetable, or Herb? I don’t think it would matter terribly if I doubled up on Tomatoes for this recipe, what do you think?

    • Niki on January 10, 2019 at 7:39 pm

      Hi Nuffy
      I wouldn’t definitely double up on the tomatoes

        Thanks Niki I did, and this meal was delightful, and along with the Thyme I added homegrown Basilica which is a smaller leaf and a more pungent than the large Basil leaf, the sauce was amazing so I am going to use this sauce for the Gnocchi….

        Thank you for a fantastic site…love it to pieces! I’m now looking for one of your yummy curries to make, looking looking now…

    Hi Niki… I need to apologise; I called you a Home Chef but you are much more than this, sorry. I also forgot to sign out on my first message as it’s early here in Oz and I think I’m still waking up only because I’ve spent after three weeks in hospital and one doesn’t get much sleep with all the Nurses scurrying about the ward. As I said in my first message I came across your site in Instagram, and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing with us all, so kind…

    Thanks so much…
    Nuffy….

    Hi,

    This recipe says that the cooking time is 40 minutes but when I add it up it will take at least 50 and that is if I perfectly time up when the peppers are done and are ready to add the beans mixture.

    Thanks,

    Brandie

    Could I use tinned tomatoes instead of fresh for the body of the stew, as I’d like to do this for an event?

      Hi Frances
      Yes you absolutely can. I think fresh taste a little better but for an event tinned will be great.
