Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and celery to the pot, followed by the tomato paste. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Pour in the beef broth, then add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the bay leaf from the pot and stir in the chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
- Serve the Eintopf hot, ideally with crusty bread on the side for a complete meal.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, replace the beef broth with vegetable broth and consider using a mix of different mushrooms for added flavor.
- Feel free to add other root vegetables such as parsnips or turnips for a unique twist.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
