This was delicious! Used Rancho Gordo Christmas Limas - great quality as always from them. Served over polenta rounds, but it would also have been great solo. Will definitely make again! Easy and amazing.

So so good. Made with pre sliced baby bella's as that is what my spouse brought home. Added kale instead of parsley as I had it on hand. Delicious. Served on soft polenta (without even reading the notes! It's a natural pairing).

Super delicious! The beans were beautiful and savory. I sautéed onions in broth since I avoid oil. Switched up the mushrooms for what I had on hand. The flavor of this dish is rich and satisfying. I also served it on soft polenta. YUM!

Amazing, and it didn't hit me until I was eating it that it's vegan. This is tasty and lush enough for a dinner party. Made it with a flavorful 2018 Oregon pomard pinot noir, and drank the rest with the meal. Amazing flavor.

Wonderful recipe! I love the flavor of the mushrooms with the beans and thyme.

Absolutely wonderful vegan dish, super easy if you have a pressure cooker. Use it to cook the beans, and again for the polenta. I use a small can of fire roasted tomatoes with chiles instead of the large can, and up the wine and bean broth. Get Rancho Gordo Christmas limas if you can -- the chestnutty flavor stands out.

Made this over the weekend adding celery along with the onion and garlic. Substituted with crimini and port wine as they were available at my house. Love the hearty quality of this stew and the Christmas Limas absorbed the flavour beautifully. I would definitely make this again.
