Ciambotta
Report
Ciambotta is a delightfully nourishing stew made from summer vegetables, like zucchini, eggplant, peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes. Topped with fresh herbs and grated cheese, this is one of our family favorites.

Ingredients
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 medium zucchini cubed
- 1 medium eggplant cubed
- 2 medium carrots chopped
- 2 large bell peppers chopped into 1" squares
- 1 large Italian frying pepper (cubanelle) chopped into 1" squares
- 3 medium hot cherry peppers seeded and stems removed, chopped, optional
- 5 medium Yukon gold potatoes cubed
- 1 ounce can plum tomatoes drained and hand crushed
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup basil chopped
- 2 tablespoons mint chopped
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil plus extra for finishing
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large high walled pot or Dutch oven saute the onion in the olive oil for a few minutes over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Turn the heat to medium and add in the eggplant and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Then, add in the peppers, potatoes, zucchini, carrots, and cherry peppers. Stir frequently to coat the vegetables with olive oil.
- After about 20 minutes add in the tomatoes and keep heat at a low simmer, stirring occasionally. Cover the pot, leaving the lid slightly ajar, and let the vegetables cook until very soft (about 30-40 minutes more). If at any time the veggies seem too dry add a bit of water to loosen things up and prevent burning.
- When the vegetables are soft, season the ciambotta with salt and pepper to taste. Add in all of the basil and mint and give it a stir. Drizzle more extra virgin olive oil on top before serving. Serve with crusty Italian bread and grated cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- Recipe makes 6 large bowls or 8 moderate-sized portions.
- Ciambotta can be served on the thicker or thinner side. For more of a soupy texture add more water.
- Cherry peppers are optional but give the stew such a wonderful flavor.
- Serve with chicken or sausage for a full meal and extra protein.
- Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the microwave or over medium-low heat on the stovetop.
