This is a flavourful hearty stew is guaranteed to fill you up! It’s loaded with beans, which are super healthy for you because they are high in fiber and antioxidants. One thing I don’t recommend, is eating this and then going to the gym…your peeps might not be impressed if you gas out the room! For some fast nutritional facts about beans, check this link out. Let’s get this started cause I’m hungry! In dutch oven or heavy bottomed fry pan, heat coconut butter over medium high heat. Add onion and celery and saute until soft. about 5 minutes. Add garlic and heat through. Add stock, both kinds of potatoes, salt and pepper. Boil mixture until potatoes are semi-soft, about 10 minutes. Add beans, chickpeas, tomato paste and molasses and let simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until heated through. Keep an eye on the pot, stirring once in awhile so nothing sticks to the bottom. Adjust flavor with salt, pepper and a dash of hot sauce optional.
