Does every recipe have to be beautiful? Does every food star have to be good-looking? I don't think so! Not everything has to be pretty as long as it's delicious, and this one is.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound spicy smoked sausage, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 pinch salt
6 zucchinis, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 ½ pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 quart vegetable broth
water, or as needed
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs fresh thyme
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
½ cup small cherry tomatoes (such as Sweet 100)

Steps:

  • Cook sausage in a large pot over medium heat until fat begins to render from sausage, about 3 minutes. If pan is too dry, drizzle olive oil over sausage and cook until sausage is browned, about 5 more minutes. Stir onion and a pinch of salt into sausage; cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir zucchinis and potatoes into sausage; pour in vegetable broth and water. Stir bay leaf, thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper into mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until stew is thickened and vegetables are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Turn off heat and stir chives into stew. Adjust salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in cherry tomatoes; serve in large shallow bowls.
