  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 medium eggplant1 medium onion2 large tomatoes2 large red peppers2 medium zucchini1 bay leaf2 tsp salt2 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Chop onion coarsely.
Heat olive oil on medium heat in a large saucepan.
Saute onion until softened, about 5 min.
While onion is cooking, prepare the other vegetables.
Add garlic when onion is nearly finished softening.
Core and seed peppers and cut into medium size cubes.
Wash zucchini, remove stem end, and cut into chunks.
Core tomatoes and cut into large cubes.
Peel and cube eggplant.
As each vegetable is cut up, add it to the pot with a sprinkle of salt.
Add bay leaf and cover the pot.
Stir occasionally to ensure the vegetables are all moistened. Simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
Uncover and continue to simmer to allow liquid to evaporate. Mixture should be like a stew, not like a soup.

    This is the recipe. Well written and easy to follow. We make this all the time. I add more eggplant and cilantro, but that's me. Better the next day or even after 48 hours. - 5/25/12

    This was very very tasty - and so low in calories. I made it just as the recipe and enjoyed it over pasta. It's gone straight into my Favourites because it will definitely be a regular from now on. - 8/9/10

    I made this without the eggplant (grocery store had none). We had it on its own and everyone loved it. It was sooo easy to make. Next time I will serve with mashed potatoes - I had ratatouille like that and it was amazing. - 11/10/08

    I made this with only 1 tomato, got a fresh picked eggplant and used the whole thing including peel--adds color, used only 1T of olive oil, 3 cloves of garlic, and extra squash and no salt--my restriction. Made this last night too--used remaining on top of my pizza today. Yum Yum - 7/16/08

    Excellent. I made it without any oil and added 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil and of dried thyme. - 7/30/07

    I left out the peppers and enjoyed it just the same. I like the calorie count too. - 1/15/21

    I make this as a summer soup as well - just remove the bayleaf after cooking, liquidise and chill. It is very tasty and filling for very few calories. Enjoy! - 6/28/13

    This is not a good recipe at all. Garlic isn't mentioned in the ingredients list - i nearly burnt the onions trying to chop the garlic in time.
    And what liquid is supposed to be evaporating? I've just got a stir fry. Should there be stock or something in the ingredient list too? - 5/22/13

    Super tasty, super simple, and super healthy. Nearly the perfect side dish - my 3 year old ate it all up too! - 7/10/11

    Apart from adding a lot more herbs and black pepper and having to thicken a bit with tomato puree - this dish was perfect. Had it with a chicken breast and couscous. Delish! - 5/29/10

    Can you tell me how big a serving is? I'm estimating it is about 1 cup (???) I made something very similar and I was just trying to figure out how big my portion was. Thanks! - 1/26/10

    i swapped out red peppers for yellow to add more color and used 2 cloves of garlic. easy to make recipe and even better the next day. - 9/27/09
  • POLARBEARSCAT
    I don't see the garlic listed in the ingredients. I also recommend sauteeing each vegetable separately, then joining together with the tomato at the end. Delicious in a whole wheat pita pocket! - 9/1/09
