Rustic Vegan Irish Stew with Orange Gremolata

Irish Stew is something special. I especially love it during the late winter months, when spring is coming but not quite here yet and the nights are brisk. It’s the perfect time to take a big bowl of piping hot stew to the porch and cozy up with it as the sun sets.
