  • 2 medium zucchinis, diced
  • 3 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Liquids

  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Dice the zucchinis, chop the tomatoes and onion, and mince the garlic cloves carefully.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Then add zucchini and corn, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Add tomatoes and broth: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, then pour in the vegetable broth. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Simmer the Stew: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until all vegetables are tender and flavors meld together.
  5. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot as a light main dish or a hearty side.

Notes

  • You can add herbs like thyme or basil for enhanced flavor.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, simmer uncovered for the last 10 minutes to reduce the broth.
  • This stew can be enjoyed warm or refrigerated and eaten cold the next day.
  • To increase protein, add cooked beans or lentils.
