It’s ALL in the herbs, spices and my secret ingredient. Let’s break it down. Herbs-wise you will want to really stock up on thyme and not be shy to use parsley. In terms of spices, you will need a good teaspoon of paprika powder, plus some delicious black pepper. Last but certainly not least, you will need yeast extract. This is not to be confused with nutritional yeast. This is a crucial ingredient that adds a special ‘oomph’. It’s super savoury, salty and provides a real punch that vegan stews tend to miss from time to time. Having not added any meat or meat substitutes, yeast extract will help add that hearty, salty, rich and deep flavour.
