The recipe was too far down in the thread...

I love stew so  much I've eaten it 4 times in the last 2 weeks. I've served it to a couple of guests and they were crazy about it too. It's really easy to make, extremely savory and filling. It's one of those stews that sticks with you all day and leaves a great taste in your mouth.

Ingredients;

4 servings

4 Italian sausages (hot, medium, mild...your choice)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced raw zucchini
1 cup diced tomato
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
Salt and Pepper to taste.

Directions

1- heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat
2- slice the sausage into 1/4 slices and fry till golden brown in the oil
3- toss all the rest of the ingredients except the cheese into the pot and reduce the heat to medium low.
4- cover the pot and cook 20-30 minutes stirring occasionally
5- pour into bowls and sprinkle 1/4 cup f fresh mozzarella over the top.
6- microwave for 20 seconds to melt the mozzarella
7- sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil over the top and serve.

Mangia Mangia!!

I made some last night and had it for lunch today. Wowzer it was yummy! So simple yet so much flavor. Purdue makes a 0 carb per link hot sausage that I used that was good. Might add a little tobasco next time. I grew up on my grandfathers sausage...so hot it made my hair curl.  Lol. Everything else just tastes sweet to me. This is a new favorite for sure. I may add a bit of the black soy beans next time just for kicks.

Chicken breast is also good

[SarahC]

How about sausage and chicken both - yummers!

[umpa]

Yep! A white meat fish would be good too I think I need gumbo

[SarahC]

I'm having a 'clean out the fridge' day so I made this as the base and added everything that needs to be used up. I'm making your gumbo, Umpa! Shrimp, sausage, veges - rotell tomatoes...smells so good!
