Preparation

Step 1

In a colander, toss eggplant with salt. Let sit 30 minutes; then rinse well and dry thoroughly. Heat oil in a large (14 inch) frying pan over medium high heat. Add onions, eggplants, garlic and peppers; cook, stirring often, until softened, 8 - 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until most of the liquid evaporates. Add zucchini and cook until tender, about 10 minutes more. Stir in basil, parsley, and oregano; then taste and add more salt if you like.
