Stew is simply a dish cooked for a long time, usually in gravy. There are many kinds of stews from traditional hotpots to Irish stew and Hungarian goulash. Some prefer to use lentils over faux meat, but as long as you find sustainable brands, it helps to reduce factory-farming (in a land of 60 million people, there is not enough land for everyone to eat free-range meat).
This vegan stew (Broke Bank Vegan) uses potatoes, mushrooms and contains in a hearty broth with an Italian-style mirepoix (onions, carrots and celery) base. You can also add root veggies, tinned beans, leafy greens or add some wild rice or barley (or even add vegan double cream).
