If you are looking a super simple pantry meal to have in your back pocket, you’ve come to the right place. This stew comes together is less than 30 minutes, but tastes slow-cooked, hearty and comforting.

This is what I make when we “don’t have any food”. Because that’s never really true, thankfully, and we almost always have these ingredients in the cupboard/freezer. It is SO easy to make and can be ready to eat in 20 minutes.

Ingredients you will need:

Onion and garlic
Olive oil or avocado oil
Canned, diced tomatoes
Frozen spinach
White beans
Parmesan
Bay leaf - optional

That’s all you need! I always serve this over rice and I highly recommend you do that too. To make:The most labor-intensive part of this recipe is chopping onions. Once you get that part out of the way, you’re basically just opening things and dumping them in the pot. Just sauté the onions until translucent, then in goes everything else! Let it simmer for about 10 minutes and you’re ready to eat.

  The publisher Fig Jar corrected the recipe that is why it now has the measurement for white beans which had been omitted.

Bay Leaf and beans are mentioned in instructions - but, not in ingredients.
