I would have to pass. I dislike any kind of bean.
It looks lovely but I'd have to leave the butter beans out, something I'm really not keen on.
That really looks so good!
...look good for a cold winter dinner.
Recipe looks good!
A warm stew recipe list will make winter better. Thank you!

Hooray for stews. And thanks for including the vegetarian option.

Take care, enjoy your day!
Ohhhh, beans. I LOVE BEANS!!!!
This sounds yummy I've saved it for later.
I've been staying away from beans because I thought they were high in carbs. Are butter beans low in carbs?
Warming in the winter Jan.
That sure looks tasty!!

Hello Mary, many thanks for your comment and question.
Beans and legumes
Beans and legumes can provide many health benefits, including reduced inflammation and heart disease risk. While they are quite high in carbs, they also contain a fair amount of fibre. Depending on your personal tolerance and daily carb allowance, you may be able to include small amounts on a low carb diet, which is what Eddie and I do.

Hope this helps.
All the best Jan

I've never used spinach for stew. Thanks for your good information.
Stew is great when the weather gets colder.
Yes, it's getting to this time of year when this would be a fabulous meal to come home to!
Hello Jan :=)
This looks so good, and is my kind of food.
All the best.
Getting to be soup and stew weather.
Un plato muy fuerte para entrar en calor en el invierno, un beso
Perfect soup for fall weather and hopefully we will be enjoying some cooler temps.
Muy buena receta, tal vez algún dÃa lo hago. Besos.
