A comforting and flavorful vegetable stew perfect for any occasion.
Heat some oil in a large stew pot over medium heat.
Using a heavy-bottomed pot helps distribute heat evenly.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking.
Stir in the bay leaves, thyme, and red wine. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
Allowing the wine to reduce enhances its flavor.
Add the diced zucchini and cubed potatoes to the pot.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, tomato paste, mustard, vinegar, molasses, salt, pepper, and basil. Pour this mixture into the pot.
Mixing the sauce beforehand ensures even distribution.
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
