Vegetable stew in a Zepter pot

Season - Vegetable stew in a Zepter pot by Zenovia H. - Recipia

Vegetable stew in a Zepter pot simmers with potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms and peppers, while the tomatoes release a thin broth. The potatoes and zucchini soften but stay in pieces that are easy to scoop up, and the mushrooms and peppers keep the dish full of color. I like serving it with dill instead of parsley. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 21 minutes. Total time: 41 minutes. Serves: 4. Approximately 280 kcal and 8 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 30 ml oil
  • 3 medium onions (450 g)
  • 3 large button mushrooms (180 g)
  • 1 medium carrot (100 g)
  • 2 medium bell peppers (300 g)
  • 1 medium capia pepper (150 g)
  • 3 medium potatoes (450 g)
  • 2 medium zucchini (500 g)
  • 750 ml hot water
  • 1000 ml water for blanching the tomatoes
  • 3 medium tomatoes (450 g)
  • 15 g parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Preparation

1. Heat 30 ml of oil in the Zepter pot. Finely chop the onions and slice the mushrooms, then sauté them for 5 minutes, covered, over medium-low heat, until softened. 2. Cut the carrot into thin slices and the peppers into cubes. Add them to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes with the lid on, until the indicator needle reaches the halfway point of the green zone. 3. Peel the potatoes and zucchini and cut them into roughly 2 cm cubes. Blanch the tomatoes for 1 minute in 1000 ml of boiling water, until the skins start to loosen, then drain, peel and chop them. 4. Add the potatoes and zucchini to the pot, then pour in 750 ml of hot water, just enough to partly cover the vegetables. Add the tomatoes and simmer everything for 10 minutes with the lid on, over low heat, until the potatoes are tender. 5. Chop the parsley and scatter it over the top. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper.

Notes

Serve it with fresh bread, perfect for soaking up the broth on your plate. You can swap the parsley for 15 g of dill or add 300 g of cubed eggplant along with the zucchini. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I get started 45 minutes before the meal, so I have time to chop the vegetables without rushing. Small, firm zucchini hold their shape better; very large ones have more seeds and can soften quickly. If the tomatoes are very juicy, use 500 ml of water instead of 750 ml.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the potatoes still hard?

Let them cook for another 5 minutes over low heat, with the lid on, and check that they are tender before turning off the heat.

Can I use a regular pot?

Yes. Keep it covered over low heat and allow 15-20 minutes after adding the water, until the potatoes soften.

Can I add peas?

Yes, add 100 g of frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
