Vegetarian Chile Verde

Vegetarian Chile Verde
Kerri Brewer for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Cyd Raftus McDowell.

Recipe by Christian Reynoso | Total time: 35 minutes

Like a chile verde with a more rustic flair, this vegetarian bean stew is satisfyingly rich, hearty and tangy, with just a kick of heat and spice. It all cooks quickly and efficiently: While tomatillos, peppers and shallots roast and become tender, the beans simmer. Eventually, everything comes together into a single pot of stew, ready for lime, sour cream and cilantro. Warm tortillas are optional, but are handy for dipping into the stew.
