Vignarola – Roman Artichoke, Broad Bean and Pea stew

Vignarola is an absolutely delicious vegetable stew originated from the Italian region, Lazio. All the veggies are seasonally spring such as peas and artichokes. It’s the perfect dish to devour when transitioning from the cold winter into the warmer sunnier days of spring.

This recipe has the addition of salty pancetta but vegetarians and vegans can, of course, leave it out. In true TTI fashion, this recipe is not only simple to throw together but it doesn’t take much time at all. All you need is a 30-40 minute slot in your life to de-stress in the kitchen and treat yourself to this yummy bowl of vegetable heaven.
