mixed vegetable stew with meat/pork bits

My comment:

This would be like anything that is stew with a mixture. medley is another term but not good here. Good for a menu.

By the way, it is in the RAE. I always use monolingual dictionaries. It is a very Spanish from Spain term.

If it is DRAE than it probably would be "dry vegetables" since DRAE says that this is the meaning for plural.

beans

My comment:

This would be my suggestion in your context, although it would exactly mean bean (or legume) pottage.
