Its roots can be traced back to rustic recipes that used seasonal vegetables to create simple yet rich flavors. The taste of the stew is a harmonious blend of the sweetness of carrots, the tenderness of zucchini and potatoes, the spiciness of garlic, and the richness of tomato paste. Through slow simmering, the ingredients absorb each other's aromas, creating a deep, warming flavor.
