  • 2 Tbsp minced fresh sage
  • 2 tsp minced fresh thyme

  • 1 cup whole-grain bread crumbs

Instructions

  • 1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes until the onions turn translucent. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed, to keep the onions from sticking to the pan.

  • 3. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sage, thyme, and rosemary, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • 4. Add the celery, carrots, turnips, fennel, vegetable broth. Cook for 15–20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • 5. Add more vegetable broth if the stew is too thick.
  • 6. Add the beans, and spoon the stew into a 9x13-inch casserole dish with high sides.
  • 7. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the stew, sprinkle with bread crumble, and bake for 30 minutes until the bread crumbs are lightly browned.
