Green Bean, Sweet Potato and Zucchini Stew

This recipe sounds boring.  It was a concoction I came up with because these were the ingredients I had left around the kitchen.  The flavor in this stew is AMAZING! My whole family loved it!  And it was so easy! One secret to many of my successes in the kitchen is my fresh herb garden.  I try to keep as many herbs as possible growing on my lanai and use them in almost every recipe.  I forgot to take a picture of the food but here is the garden!

1 Tbs olive oil

1 large onion saute 

3 cloves garlic

10-20 green long beans, sliced into 2 inch pieces

1 sweet potato, cubed 

1 zucchini cubed

1 Tbs fresh oregano

1/2 Tbs fresh thyme

1 Tbs fresh parsley

1 1/2 tsp dried basil or 1 Tbs fresh (I had to use dry)

dash cayenne pepper

2 cans fire roasted tomatoes

11/2 c chicken broth 

Saute onion in olive oil until softened.  Add all ingredients bring to boil then simmer until ready to eat 45 mins at least.
