  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by prepping all your vegetables and ingredients. Nana always said the key to good cooking was in the preparation.
  2. Brown the Meat (or Sauté the Vegetables): Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil or butter and brown the meat, or if you’re making it vegetarian, simply sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add Broth and Vegetables: Pour in the broth, followed by the carrots, potatoes, and any other veggies you’d like. Stir in the herbs, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Simmer Slowly: Bring everything to a gentle boil, then lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour. The longer, the better, as the flavors meld beautifully over time.
  5. Serve and Savor: Once everything is tender and the aroma fills your kitchen, it’s time to serve. Nana would pair this with freshly baked bread or fluffy rice.

The Secret Ingredient: Love and Patience

Nana’s cooking was always full of heart, and it taught me that the best food takes time. She used to say that “a recipe isn’t just about the ingredients; it’s about putting a little piece of yourself into every dish.” And that’s why nothing beats the way she made it. Even when I follow her recipe to the letter, I realize it was her hands, her warmth, and her patience that made it so special.

Keeping the Tradition Alive

Cooking this dish keeps her memory alive for me, and every time I make it, I feel like she’s there in the kitchen with me. Family recipes are more than just food – they’re a way of connecting us to our past and honoring the people who loved us through their cooking.

So, here’s to Nana’s special dish – may it bring warmth, comfort, and a taste of nostalgia to you and your family as well. Enjoy!

Tips: Make it your own by adding a few of your favorite herbs or spices, but remember – the magic ingredient is love. Happy cooking!
