Cacciatora means “hunter-style.” It’s the type of food hunters would eat after getting home from a long morning in the countryside. These dishes typically combine meat and broth with onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes; bell peppers and wine are optional. The sweetness and punch of onion rounds out the dish. Throw it all in a slow cooker and you’ll end up with tender, fragrant meat, melting vegetables, and an intense broth. It’s low-and-slow cooking at its best.
