Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the crushed tomatoes.

If you don't have Calabrian chili paste, you can substitute with red pepper flakes, but it won't have the same unique flavor.

A squeeze of lemon juice at the end can brighten up the stew.

Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added nutrients and flavor.

For an even spicier stew add a pinch of red pepper flakes in addition to the calabrian chili paste.
