in Brooklyn. As one of the first tables to get our order in that night, my friend and I were immediately swamped with food. The dish in question, a brooding mound of beans and grains topped with scattered chiles and herbs, sat undisturbed in the corner for at least 20 minutes while we demolished everything else, from fried fish sandwiches to fluke crudo. Finally, we turned to the stew.
“Initially I made the stew by adding meat to it, but after tasting the first batch I realized I didn’t want to take any attention away from the beans and grains,” he explains.

Tell them there’s pork in it, and no one will ask twice.It isn’t often we demolish an entire bowl of something without once suspecting that it was vegan, but chef Danny Newberg made it happen. This is how he builds the most insanely delicious bean stew we have ever eaten, vegan or not.
