To make zucchini and Brussels sprouts stew, cook the sprouts in a little oil and liquid until they begin to soften, then add the zucchini. Adding zucchini later helps it keep its shape instead of turning mushy.
Zucchini and Brussels sprouts stew is usually served as a chunky vegetable dish, not a smooth soup. Use only enough broth or water to cook the vegetables; add more if you want a soupier consistency.
Trim the stem ends and remove any damaged outer leaves before adding Brussels sprouts to the stew. Halve larger sprouts so they cook more evenly, and leave small ones whole if you want them to hold their shape.
Add zucchini after the Brussels sprouts have started to soften, and avoid stirring the stew vigorously. Cut the zucchini into larger pieces and stop cooking when it is tender but still holds its shape.
Yes, tomatoes work well in zucchini and Brussels sprouts stew, adding moisture and a tangy flavor. Add chopped or grated tomato while the sprouts are cooking, then put in the zucchini later so it does not overcook.
Yes, roasting the Brussels sprouts first gives zucchini and Brussels sprouts stew a deeper, lightly browned flavor. Roast them until just tender, then add them near the end of cooking so they do not become too soft.
Thyme, parsley, and dill all suit zucchini and Brussels sprouts stew. Thyme adds an earthy note while parsley or dill tastes fresher; add tender herbs near the end so their flavor stays noticeable.
Serve zucchini and Brussels sprouts stew with crusty bread, rice, or a grain such as bulgur to make the meal more substantial. A spoonful of yogurt on the side also works well if you want a cool contrast.
Keep zucchini and Brussels sprouts stew in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within 3–4 days. Reheat only the portion you plan to serve, until it is hot throughout.
Yes, you can freeze zucchini and Brussels sprouts stew, but the zucchini may turn softer and release water after thawing. Freeze it in portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, then reheat gently and stir off excess liquid.

Zucchini and Brussels sprouts stew brings together tender zucchini and compact Brussels sprouts in a gently cooked vegetable dish. There is no single traditional origin implied by the name; it fits the home-style approach of simmering seasonal vegetables, often with onion, tomato and olive oil. The exact seasoning and sauce can vary from kitchen to kitchen.
Zucchini turns soft and mild, while the sprouts keep a firmer bite and add a gently cabbage-like flavour. Serve it warm as a light main or as a vegetable side, with bread, grains or a spoonful of plant-based yogurt. It provides fibre and has 42 calories per 100 g, making it a useful choice when you want a lighter, vegetable-focused meal. For a more filling plate, pair it with beans or lentils.
