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.

When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.
Stew has a reputation for making a rib-sticking eating process that warms you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the cold . It’s all about those tender chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
