Notes

A bit of work, but for a warming, hearty, tasty vegetarian/vegan meal it is well worth the effort.
One can add in boneless/skinless chicken thighs, and swap out the veggie stock for chicken.
AS this is a bit of a braise, one can drop the temp and add other protein, Lamb would be traditional.
