Bigos without meat in a new way: what seasonal vegetable to add to the dish

Classic Polish bigos (Hunter's stew) is traditionally made of cabbage either fresh or sauerkraut, as well as meat like pork, beef, duck or even game. However, there is an alternative. The dish can be made from a seasonal vegetable, zucchini.
