This meatless main dish is loaded with hearty vegetables and a lightly spiced flavor, thanks to fresh basil and a bay leaf. Pair this one-dish meal with crusty bread and you have a complete meal ready to eat in about 30 minutes. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 onion, thinly sliced |
4 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced |
1 small bay leaf |
1 small eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups) |
1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into thin slices |
1 red bell pepper, cut into slivers |
4 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups) |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 cup shredded fresh basil leaves |
freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Over medium-low heat, add the oil to a large skillet with the onion, garlic, and bay leaf, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened. Add the eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until the eggplant has softened. Stir in the zucchini, red bell pepper, tomatoes, and salt, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the basil and a few grinds of pepper to taste.
