Notes

  • Use bone broth for extra gut-healing benefits, or switch to vegetable broth to keep it vegan.
  • Add kale only at the end to keep its color and texture fresh.
  • Fresh dill is best added after cooking, since heat dulls its flavor.
  • This stew is naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, and nightshade free, making it AIP compliant.
  • Leftovers taste better the next day as the flavors continue to blend.
