Ingredients
1 tsp olive oil1 tsp chopped garlic1 medium onion, chopped5 cups eggplant, peeled and chopped (about 1 medium)1-1/2 cups chopped green peppers1 cup Newman's Own Marinara - or other kind
Directions
Use a large heavy-bottomed covered pan for this recipe. Hard anodyzed cookware such as Calphalon works best to minimize the amount of oil needed.

Use medium-low heat. Put the oil in the bottom of the pan, then add garlic and onions and cook 5-10 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Add eggplant and cook 15 minutes more, stirring occasionally. The goal here is to gently roast the vegetables. Next add the green peppers and cook another 15 minutes or so until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the marinara sauce, reduce the heat, and simmer gently another 10 minutes or so.

Makes 5 servings - 1 cup each.

    I added mushrooms and crushed red pepper to give it a little spice and it was delicious! - 7/24/10
