Mild Italian Sausage, Tomato & Zucchini Stew - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs mild Italian sausage, casings removed
1 1/2 cups celery, sliced
2 cups fresh tomatoes, peeled, cut in wedges (save juice) or (28 ounce) cans tomatoes
1 1/2 cups tomato juice
1 1/2 lbs zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
2 green peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
parmesan cheese, grated (for garnish) or romano cheese (for garnish)

Preparation

Brown sausage in large, deep saucepan.
Add sliced celery and cook for 15 minute.
Drain off fat. Add tomatoes, tomato juice, zucchini and seasonings.
Simmer, covered for 20 minute.
Add green peppers, summer an additional 15 minute.
Garnish with cheese. Serve with French bread.
Note: For more liquid, add tomato juice (And I would use garlic cloves instead of garlic salt, if you like garlic).
