For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth. Chicken broth can also be used, but the recipe will no longer be vegetarian. If you don't have fresh sage or rosemary, you can substitute dried herbs. Use 1 teaspoon of dried sage and 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary. A splash of red wine vinegar or lemon juice added at the end brightens the flavors. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepWarm the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
02
StepAdd the chopped tomato and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until the pepper begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
03
StepAdd the chopped sage, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
04
StepAdd the rinsed and drained navy beans and the bay leaf to the pot. Pour in enough vegetable broth (or water) to just cover the beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
05
StepReduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour. Stir occasionally, adding more broth or water if the stew becomes too dry. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will develop.
06
StepRemove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with fresh chives, and serve warm.
