- 1 large onion
- 1 carrot

Ingredient details:

- Peas: A vegetable rich in vitamins (A, C, K) and minerals (iron, magnesium), peas are an excellent choice for a healthy diet. You can use either fresh or frozen peas, depending on the season and availability.

- Soy: An important source of plant-based protein, rich in fiber and essential fatty acids. Make sure to use quality soy, suitable for cooking.

- Oil: Choose sunflower or olive oil to add a delicate flavor.

- Tomato broth: Adds a pleasant acidity to the dish, enriching it with an intense taste.

Step by step - Preparing pea stew with soy:

1. Preparing the soy: Start by boiling the soybeans in a pot of salted water. Let them boil for 20 minutes until soft. Then, drain the soy and set it aside for later.

2. Sauté the vegetables: In a skillet, add a tablespoon of oil and sauté the finely chopped onion. Sauté until translucent, then add the grated carrot. Mix well and let it cook for 5 minutes until the carrot softens.

3. Add peas and broth: After the vegetables are sautéed, add the peas (fresh or frozen), boiled soy, and tomato broth. Mix everything well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 100-150 ml of water to achieve a more fluid consistency.

4. Let it boil: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the stew boil for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Check if the peas are cooked but still crunchy.

5. Prepare the thickener: In a small bowl, mix 100 ml of broth with 2 tablespoons of flour until you get a smooth mixture. Add this mixture to the skillet, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let it boil for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.

6. Finalize the dish: Finally, add the chopped fresh parsley and mix well. The dish is now ready to be served!

Serving suggestions:
Serve the pea stew with soy warm, alongside a slice of fresh bread or a serving of polenta. This dish pairs excellently with plain yogurt or a fresh vegetable salad.

Variations and tips:
If you want to diversify the recipe, you can add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or zucchini. Additionally, for a more intense flavor, you can add spices like cumin or paprika.
