Traditionally “cacciatore”, an Italian hunters stew is slow cooked, so you will have to excuse this bastardised speedy version. Although not traditional, it’s a comfort food supper that can be cooked in a matter of minutes using mostly inexpensive ingredients. Serve with sour dough bread to soak up the juices.
