Ingredients
- â2 tbsp olive oil
- â1 medium onion
- â2 cloves garlic
- â3 medium courgettes (zucchini)
- â1 can (400g) butter beans
- â1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
- â100 ml vegetable stock
- â1 tsp dried oregano
- â1/2 tsp salt
- â1/4 tsp black pepper
- â2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
đĄ Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from browning too quickly.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced courgettes. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until the courgettes begin to soften slightly at the edges.
Add the drained butter beans, chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, and dried oregano to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the courgettes to become fully tender.
đĄ Tip: If the stew looks too thick, you can add a splash of extra stock or water.
Remove from heat, taste to adjust seasoning if necessary, and stir in the fresh chopped parsley right before serving.
đ Chef's Notes
This stew pairs beautifully with crusty artisan bread or a side of fluffy couscous. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and gently reheated on the stove.
