Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Leather Britches

    If using dried leather britches, soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to rehydrate. If using fresh, rinse them and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. If using dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrate them in warm water for about 20 minutes, then slice.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  2. 4

    Add the Remaining Vegetables

    Add the carrots, potatoes, and soaked leather britches to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  3. 5

    Pour in the Broth

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the shiitake mushrooms, salt, black pepper, thyme, and bay leaves.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Stew

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.

  5. 7

    Finish the Stew

    Remove the bay leaves, stir in the lemon juice for a bright flavor, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
