Introduction

I slightly adapted this light, yet hearty meal from Susan of FatFree Vegan Kitchen's blog (http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/05/zucc
hini-spirals-with-fresh-vegetable.html). I used a julienne peeler to make the "pasta" and bumped up the spice a tad, but otherwise it's pretty much the same!

Ingredients

    1/3 cup water, or as needed
    1 large, sweet onion, diced
    1 1/4 lbs eggplant, chopped into 1/2" pieces
    1/4 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced
    2 yellow summer squashes, diced
    1 red bell pepper, chopped
    1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes

    1/4 tsp fresh black pepper
    1 tbsp dried oregano
    1 tbs. dried basil
    4 medium zucchini

Directions

Heat a large non-stick saucepan, and add the onion and a splash of water.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to brown.
Add the eggplant and mushrooms and cook about 8 minutes, until soft and browning.
Stir in the squash, peppers, and garlic, and continue to cook and stir for 3 - 4 more minutes, adding water as necessary.
Add the remaining ingredients, except for zucchini.
Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make ribbons out of the zucchini using a julienne peeler, mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.
Place equal mounds of zucchini ribbons in erving bowls, top with hot sauce.
Serve immediately.
