Preparation
Step 1
You can use any kind of tomatoes - regular, cherry, or even canned in their own juice. Choose the mushrooms you like. I’ll be using pre-boiled wild mushrooms, but champignons or oyster mushrooms are also fine.
Step 2
Peel and rinse the onions and carrots. Finely chop the onion, and slice the carrot into sticks or rounds. Don't cut it too small, or it will overcook during stewing.
Step 3
Heat a pan and add some vegetable oil. Add the onion and carrot. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Then add the mushrooms. If using champignons, just wash, slice, and use directly. Fry everything together for another 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Peel and dice the potatoes, then add them to the pan with the mushrooms. Pour in a bit of hot water, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Step 6
Clean the bell pepper from seeds, slice it, and add to the pan. Cover again and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Step 7
Add chopped zucchini. Cook another 5-7 minutes. What kind of zucchini is best? Use young, tender-skinned ones. You don’t need to peel very thin skin. If using mature zucchini, remove the tough skin and seed core.
Step 8
Meanwhile, finely chop some fresh herbs. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Step 9
Add the herbs and tomatoes to the pan. Season with salt and spices to taste. Stir everything and heat for another couple of minutes. Then turn off the heat and let the stew rest under the lid for 10-15 minutes.
Step 10
Your vegetable stew with mushrooms and potatoes is ready! Serve hot. Enjoy!
