In the recipe description it said that this is one his mother's recipes. He states that it is very economical and was eaten frequently in his home growing up. Placed here for safe keeping, but sounds great! This recipe would be a great springboard so to speak, as you could easily add in zucchini, green beans, turnips, corn, you name it! He suggests serving with a hot loaf of bread. This is a very BASIC recipe, just as my mom would have made it with little to no seasoning. I personally add 1 tsp or more of Italian Seasoning as well as about 1/2 tsp of Seasoning Salt and then Tobasco sauce to taste. GREAT comfort food. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
2 onions, sliced |
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces |
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/2 inch pieces |
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes |
2 cups frozen peas |
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes |
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1 teaspoon oregano |
8 leaves fresh basil, coarsely chopped |
10 -12 mushrooms, quartered |
pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large pan, gently heat the oil, add the garlic and onions. Saute for a few minutes.
2. Then add the carrots and celery, potatoes, both kinds of tomatoes, pepper, oregano and basil; cover and simmer for 40 minutes or until the carrots and potatoes are just tender. (NOTE: Mine took about an hour).
3. Then add mushrooms and peas and allow the stew to cook for 5 minutes more.
