Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
  • 1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 1 small eggplant, cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 4 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 2 small zucchini, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup of prepared tomato sauce or marinara

Directions 

  1. In a 4-quart Dutch oven or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add eggplant; stir until coated with oil. Add peppers; stir to combine. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep vegetables from sticking.
