Substitution

It's hard to beat the flavor of rosemary in this stew, but if you like basil, go ahead and use chopped fresh basil instead.

Serve-With

Warm Italian peasant bread and herb butter is a delicious combination with this one-dish stew. End the meal on a light note with vanilla frozen yogurt, cappuccino and chocolate-dipped biscotti.

Special Touch

Top this robust stew with shaved curls of Parmesan cheese and a sprinkling of chopped fresh rosemary leaves.
