ZUCCHINI, POTATO AND FENNEL STEW

Steps:

• In a medium soup pot, heat the olive oil, then add the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and then the Piment d'Espelette. Lightly brown, 5 minutes, while you chop the remaining vegetables. Add the garlic, zucchini, fennel and onion to the soup as they are chopped. Add the tomatoes and cover the pan to soften the vegetables and burst the tomatoes, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the stock and passata, and mix to combine. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
• Reheat over medium heat and garnish with the reserved fennel fronds and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with warm bread.

SPICY ZUCCHINI, PEPPER AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Char sweet frying pepper over open flame on stovetop or under hot broiler with oven door cracked to allow steam to escape. Once the skin is evenly charred and blackened all-over, place the pepper in a bowl and cover with plastic until pepper is cool enough to handle. Wipe or scrape the char off the pepper removing the skins. Seed the pepper and thinly slice.
• Heat 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil ripples, add the zucchini, chiles, frying peppers, onions, potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and saute the vegetables until tender-crisp, 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and roasted peppers and allow the tomatoes to breakdown a few minutes. Stir in enough stock to desired consistency - as thin or thick as you like.
• Cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.
• Reheat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Serve in shallow bowls with shredded or torn sweet basil and crusty, warm bread.

• Combine poultry seasoning with salt and pepper and sprinkle evenly over the vegetables. Toss them again to combine and spread them out on to a baking sheet.
