I love family recipes that are super-easy to make, delicious and use budget-friendly ingredients. This vegan potato and carrot stew with fresh tarragon is one of my favorite recipes! I learned it from my mother. She always cooks delicious recipes that can feed the whole family! I learned lots of recipes from her and I’m glad I will be able to serve great dishes, like this one, to my family.
Maybe you’ll think this is just a simple vegetarian (vegan actually!) potato and carrot stew. Well, it’s not! Tarragon makes it special! This wonderful herb is delicious in potato or white bean recipes. You should always have it in your pantry! I keep it vinegar. This way you can store it forever! 🙂
