One-Pot Leek and Potato Stew [vegan]

This recipe is one of my family’s favorites during winter time. Its so interesting because everyone in my family has a different secret ingredient for this delicious potato stew. My mother likes to add sun dried tomatoes, my father loves chili and I always add leek because I love the taste of leek and potato.

This is an Albanian traditional stew that usually is cooked with meat but to make it plant based we have tried adding it different vegetables to have that rich earthy flavor. I love making this potato stew especially in autumn that leeks are in season. They have the sweetest flavor.

This stew is so hearty and comforting. If you love the taste of bay leaves than you will also love this stew!
