ZUCCHINI STEW - VEGETARIAN
This chunky stew delightfully uses the abundant zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and green beans my garden produces. It is perfect for a summer dinner or a cool weather lunch. I serve it with buttered crusty bread. Use your largest dutch oven to make this recipe, as it makes a lot! Leftovers freeze well. Feel free to adjust the amount of crushed red pepper to suit your tastes. The amount listed will give a mild tongue tingle. I usually chop up and throw in the entire green pepper, unless I can use the other half within a couple of days.

TOMATO ZUCCHINI STEW
Meet the Cook: This recipe's "famous" with my friends and the younger friends of my grown daughter and granddaughter. I make it for potlucks and other get-togethers. The town where I live is now considered "city". When my late husband and I loved here 40 years ago, though, it was country. He was an ex-farm boy, and always had a large vegetable garden. We were well supplied for winter! -Helen Miller, Hickory Hills, Illinois

Tips:
- Choose firm, tender zucchini: The best zucchini for stewing are those that are firm and tender, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes, as these may be bitter or tough.
- Cut zucchini into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using zucchini of different sizes, cut them into pieces of similar thickness so that they cook at the same rate.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you add the zucchini to the pan, make sure there is enough space for each piece to come into contact with the hot oil or butter. If you overcrowd the pan, the zucchini will steam instead of fry, and it will be less flavorful.
- Cook the zucchini until it is tender: The zucchini should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked zucchini will be mushy and bland.
- Season the zucchini well: Zucchini has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs to create a flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Zucchini stew is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, zucchini stew is a great option for busy weeknights or lazy weekends. Plus, it's a healthy and flavorful dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give zucchini stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
