Thermomix Paleo Sweet Potato and Balsamic Stew

For the past few years I have worked full time in a job which has included many trips away from home, most months I have been away every second week. Every time I get home from an away trip my husband begs me to make this dish as it is his favourite meal.

It is such a simple dish to throw together and the Thermomix does all the work. I love how easy it is, especially when I arrive home and am exhausted from driving around various parts of NSW.

This stew is such a nourishing, hearty meal and it never fails to disappoint.

I hope you love it as much as we do.

What you need:

1 large onion, peeled and quartered

1 clove garlic

30g coconut oil

40g balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon of vegetable stock concentrate

2 sprigs of fresh thyme chopped or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
