For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth. Feel free to substitute other vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds brightness to the finished stew. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a spicier stew, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
