Like all traditional cuisines, until recently Tuscan vegetable cooking was strongly linked to the seasons and the vegetables each one produced. Spring was the season for fava beans and pecorino cheese, summer was a vegetable lovers paradise when zucchini, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, green beans, peas, and many others vied with each other for a place on the table. Fall and winter brought artichokes, fennel bulbs and dried beans to the fore. All this has changed in the last ten years since most vegetables have become available at affordable prices throughout the year.

Save vegetable trimmings and peelings in a large freezer container and make a quick vegetable stock from them. Use the peels and or leaves of onions, garlic, carrots, celery, turnips, parsnips, parsley stems, and any leftover salad and cooked vegetables. Do not include strongly flavored vegetables such as spinach, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Also exclude potatoes, rice or pasta, as they tend to cloud the stock. Transfer scraps and peelings to a pot. Add water to cover; an extra carrot, onion, and celery for richness; and the seasonings of your choice. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 30 minutes. Strain and discard solids, then cool uncovered. Refrigerate or freeze until needed.
