  • Add the onions and cook until beginning to brown.
  • Add vegetables one at a time, sauteing each one for a minute or two before adding the next.
  • Stir in tomato sauce and about one cup of water (depending on thickness of stew you desire). Reduce heat & simmer until all the vegetables are tender (15-30 minutes).
