Vegetable stew is an easy-to-prepare and very relevant dish on the summer table. It will be appreciated by everyone who tries to eat right, because it is prepared from seasonal vegetables, which contain a large amount of useful substances and vitamins. And the stew itself is a very light dish in which you can combine a variety of vegetables.

Of course, not only young potatoes can be used for making stews. Optionally, you can add other vegetables: cabbage, sweet peppers, tomatoes, etc.

Ragout can be prepared only from vegetables or with the addition of meat. I wanted to make the dish more satisfying, so I cooked a vegetable stew with meat, I used lean veal.
