Zucchini stew is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up zucchini from your garden or local farmer's market. The stew is typically made with zucchini, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs. However, there are many variations of the recipe, so you can easily customize it to your liking. Some common additions include potatoes, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and corn. The stew can be cooked on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, or even in the oven. No matter how you choose to make it, zucchini stew is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this summer vegetable.

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

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.

GREEK POTATO, ZUCCHINI, AND BEAN STEW
As the weather turns chilly, my tastes immediately turn to comforting stews and thick soups. Though I am not a vegetarian, I enjoy having meatless meals a couple of times a week. Saw this one on cooking Light and wanted to post it for future reference. For those on the WW Core program, the stew is Core plus points for the feta garnish.

ZUCCHINI SQUASH AND POTATO STEW
A recipe from my Italian family. Serve with a good Italian bread. Flavor is improved when refrigerated overnight and can keep for a few days in fridge. If stew becomes too thick, can thin out with some chicken broth. I have substituted a 14.5-16 ounce can of diced tomatoes (fire roasted or plain) for the cup of tomato sauce and cup of water or broth.

ZUCCHINI STEW BY BOB
My Dad took the veggies I had brought him from a friend's garden and just invented this one morning. His original recipe used Boca® crumbles. I like to make it with hamburger or ground turkey. This recipe was invented as vegetarian. You can add more Anaheims for a spicier stew.

ZUCCHINI STEW
Steps:
- Wash and cut zucchini into 1 inch pieces. Peel potatoes and also cut into 1 inch pieces. Set aside. In a 5 quart pan, saute sliced onions and garlic in olive oil until onions are tender (don't burn the garlic) Add potatoes, tomatoes, water and simmer for about 10 minutes. Then add zucchini and sweet basil, salt and pepper and cook for about 10-15 minutes more. Check for taste, add a little sugar is tomatoes are bitter. Check also for Salt and Pepper. Cook until both potatoes and zucchini are tender but not overcooked.
Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: For the best flavor and texture, use firm, young zucchini that are about 6 inches long.
- Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much zucchini to the pot, it will steam instead of sautéing and will become watery.
- Cook the zucchini over medium-high heat: This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Add the tomatoes and broth: Once the zucchini is browned, add the tomatoes and broth and bring to a simmer.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve hot: Zucchini stew is best served hot, with a side of bread or rice.
