Directions
A couple spoons olive oil [basic for flavor but any oil is ok.]
An onion chopped and cooked soft in oil with some garlic.
A can of diced tomatoes, 2 cups.
A large eggplant maybe 1 1/2 pound, some strips of skin can be cut off, scoring it is good, in chunks.
After this gives some liquid, add the rest. Occasional stirring is necessary, covered on low heat.
About 3 or 4 small zucchini and yellow squash sliced
A diced green pepper, chunks do not come out well
Basil [very good] and black pepper
Chopped herbs like celery leaf, parsley to finish if you have them.
Dishes topped with cheese, especially goat, provolone or an ‘Italian’ mix are good hot.
Even cold as a salad it is good.
Fresh or canned mushrooms add savor.
Good herbs to try are: oregano, thyme, savory lavender, basil, sage, rosemary, bay leaf.
Herbes de provence is appropriate.
This came to about 60 oz volume, 6 good servings.

    great description of ingredients and variations- but this recipe is severely lacking in basic instructions, like whether this is stove top or oven, what temp or length of time to cook. Those basic details would be greatly appreciated - 4/25/09
