VEGETABLE GIAMBOTTA (vegetable stew)

 

  • 1-28 ounce can of whole Italian plum tomatoes with all the juice
  • 1-cup of vegetable stock.
  • 1-large onion chopped into small pieces
  • 3-medium potatoes cubed
  • 1- small eggplant cubed
  • 1-red bell pepper cut in small pieces
  • 4-cloves of garlic sliced
  • A hand full of string beans cut in half
  • 1-zucchini cut into bite size cubes
  • Mushrooms about 4 ounces cut into quarters
  • 2-bay leaves
  • 2-tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1- tsp Salt
  • 1- tsp fresh black pepper

 

1-In a large pot heat the olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic for 2 minutes.

 

2-Then add the potatoes, eggplant, salt and pepper and sauté this for 5 minutes. 

 

3-Now add the plum tomatoes and all their juice, stock and bay leaves. 

 

4-Bring this to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and continue to simmer covered for 10 minutes. 

 

5-Now add the balance of the ingredients and simmer 20 minutes uncovered, stirring several times. 

 

6-Remove the bay leaves and taste for salt and pepper and adjust.  

 

7-Try a potato and an eggplant and if they are done so is the Giambotta! 

 

I serve this with some grated Romano cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. As far as vegetables you can use whatever you prefer just be sure to add the vegetables that take longer to cook, first.
