Notes

For extra flavor, try using a mix of colored bell peppers instead of just one. This stew reheats beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep - simply store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding white beans for extra protein or swapping in sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile. For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Serve with crusty bread for sopping up the delicious broth, or pair with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
