1 Recipe

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 small Eggplant; unpeeled, & cut into 1-inch chunks)
1 large Onion; sliced
1 Green bell pepper; sliced
1 Red bell pepper; sliced
1 Yellow bell pepper;(if available) sliced
3 Or 4 fresh ripe tomatoes; cut into 1-inch chunks
2 Zucchini OR other summer squash; cut in 1\" chunks
3 To 4 cloves garlic; minced
Olive oil
Chopped fresh herbs (basil, oregano, parsley) ~
Salt, pepper ~

Directions

Use a big deep frying pan for this (your chicken fryer would be about right). It's the kind of dish that tends to "grow" alarmingly as you toss things in.

Film the bottom of the pan with olive oil, and heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and garlic, and saute until wilted. Add the tomatoes and eggplant, and cook until they begin to release some of their juices. Now toss in everything else, cover the pan, and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the remaining vegetables are tender.

Season to taste with herbs, salt, pepper, and remove from the heat.

May be served hot, at room temperature (best, IMHO), or slightly chilled.

I can make a meal of this with some good French or Italian bread and butter, but it's also a nice side dish with grilled poultry.
