Summer Vegetable Stew

Summer Vegetable Stew
Summer Vegetable Stew
If your summer garden brims with squash, green beans, and tomatoes, put them to work in this simple summer vegetable stew. It uses no water and makes a thick, hearty meal. Two surprise ingredients - cinnamon, and cloves - enhance the flavors. Feel free to adjust the heat by varying how much chopped peppers you use. I like to use red jalapenos for this dish for an even extra kick!

1. Spritz a large stockpot with oil. 2. Saute peppers, garlic, and onions until onions are translucent and garlic becomes fragrant. (about 2-3 minutes) 3. Add in cinnamon and cloves. Stir to coat vegetables. 4. Add in potatoes, stir to combine. Cover and cook another 4-5 minutes till potatoes have softened a bit. Stirring occasionally. 5. Add green beans and tomatoes. Cover and cook another 4-5 minutes. 6. Add the squash and corn to the pot. Stir to combine with other ingredients. Reduce heat to low, cover simmer till vegetables are done to your liking. I usually just heat it through. 7. Add water 1/4 cup at a time if it seems like it needs it. However, this is a thick stew - not a soup.
