This is a go-to recipe for me and my family always enjoys it. Since you only need one pot it also makes for easy clean up, who doesn’t love that!

This recipe is also a great one for those who are trying to follow the Daniel Fast. The Daniel Fast is a religious fast based on the prophet Daniel from the Old Testament and his fasting experience. Its supposed to be a way to draw closer to God through fasting and prayer.

The Daniel Fast is very similar to a plant based diet including whole grains, legumes, healthy liquid oils, nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies. But it does also restrict a lot of common ingredients like, bread, yeast, maple syrup, tea, and sugar, among other things.

I found that quite a few people were having a hard time keeping the recipes fresh and new while also not feeling deprived. So this recipe is packed with plant based ingredients and the only thing you need to take out would be the sugar. The original recipe has sugar because I think it helps cut some of the acidity from the tomatoes sauce but it is still yummy and rich without it.

If you know someone having a hard time with their Daniel Fast send them this recipe! More to come!
