Zucchini Soffritto

🇮🇹 Italian

A slow-simmered italian pot of zucchini, root vegetables and rich broth — dinner that tastes like a warm kitchen on a cold day. 50 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 15 min Cook 35 min Serves 4 Medium

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, chopped
  • Garlic4 cloves, minced

  • Zucchini3, sliced
  • Celery2 stalks, diced

Optional extras

  • Fresh Basilhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm the Olive Oil in a heavy casserole and brown the zucchini well on all sides — real colour means real flavour.

  2. 2

    Lift the zucchini out, soften the onion and garlic in the same pot, then add the dried oregano.

  3. 3

    Return the zucchini, tip in the potato and carrot, and pour over the stock.

  4. 4

    Cover and let it murmur gently for 35-40 minutes until everything is spoon-tender and the broth has body.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and cracked pepper, then shower with fresh basil right before serving.

Chef's tip

Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
