I can remember eating this dish every-single-weekend of hunting season. Every Friday my family would pack up and head up to Forestport, NY to my grandparent's camp for the weekend. It's a staple dish in Utica and our family. Plus, it's super easy to make.
Mushroom Stew
2lbs of pork, sausage, beef or veal
3 cups of mushrooms
1 large chopped onion
3 tbs minced garlic
3 (28 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
3 chopped red or green peppers
1 cup of chopped celery
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
In a large stockpot brown meat in large pot with olive oil. Add celery, peppers, and mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and peppers. Cook over medium heat until veggies are soft, then add tomato paste. Add crushed tomatoes and let finish cooking....another 30 minutes or so. The sauce should be smooth. Enjoy!
