- 1 medium eggplant
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes with juice

Preparation
Step 1
Peel eggplant and cut in 1-inch cubes; put in a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Let stand in the sink for about 20 to 30 minutes to drain.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is tender. Add the tomatoes, bell peppers, basil, pepper, and oregano. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add zucchini and eggplant; cover and continue simmering for 10 to 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Taste and add salt, if needed. Serve with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serves 4 to 6.
