Peel and chop all vegetables before you begin.
In a cast-iron pot or deep saucepan, heat the rice bran oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
Add the buckwheat flour and stir well to coat the vegetables.
Sprinkle in the paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Gradually pour in the vegetable stock while stirring constantly to dissolve the flour.
Add the canned peas. Stir to combine.
Lower the heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and finish with freshly chopped dill.
Make sure your stock is vegan—check labels for meat or dairy derivatives. Or simply make your own stock at home.
This stew thickens more as it sits; add water or stock to loosen when reheating.
Perfect with gluten-free flatbread, potatoes, or steamed rice.
Dill adds freshness, don’t skip it if you can!
For a low-FODMAP version, replace onion and garlic with leek greens and garlic-infused oil.
