We really like dishes that are as pretty as they are tasty, and this recipe for roasted veggie stew definitely fits that bill. It’s got bright colors and big, bold flavors. We’re talking a rainbow of vegetables that are roasted with olive oil and rosemary, all in a thick garlicky tomato sauce that’s brightened with lemon juice.
This stew is like a farmer’s market in a bowl, so it’s pretty forgiving if we need to swap a couple of ingredients out. We like to make up a pot for a light Saturday lunch, and sometimes we add rice or quinoa to make it more hearty for dinner. Don’t forget to add a slice of crusty bread, because you’ll want to sop up every drop of this delicious stew.
