How to Make Vegetable Stew Giambotta A La Rachael Ray

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a medium soup pot over medium heat.
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 medium chopped onion. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add: 2 medium potatoes (cubed), 1 medium eggplant (cubed), 2 medium zucchini (cubed), and 1 bell pepper (cubed). Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Uncover, add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes and 2 cups vegetable stock. Simmer for 5 minutes, until heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil.
  8. While the stew simmers, prepare the bread: Slice a baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Broil until lightly charred. Rub with 1 clove of crushed garlic and drizzle with 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1/4 cup per slice) and freshly cracked black pepper. Broil for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
  9. Serve the hearty vegetable stew with the cheesy garlic bread. Enjoy!
