Invent Your Recipe:
For this recipe, Vegetarian Three Bean Stew, you can switch around the types of beans you are using. I have used cannellini beans, baked beans, and garbanzo beans before in this recipe. I use green bell peppers the most because they seem to be available all year long and are typically less expensive, however, I have used yellow, orange, and red bell pepper in this recipe, so use what you like.
This stew has endless possibilities for ingredients and flavor. Use the vegetables you like and change the seasoning for the sweetness and heat you would like. This base recipe is not spicy, so add crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or jalapenos if you like some heat.
