Preparation
Step 1
You can add other vegetables to your taste besides those listed. Wash and pat all vegetables dry.
Step 2
Cut the zucchini into medium cubes. Choose young, tender ones with soft skin. Wash and peel them. Very thin skin can be left on. If the zucchini are mature, remove the tough peel and scoop out the seedy core.
Step 3
Cut the tomatoes into medium pieces. Choose juicy but firm tomatoes - soft ones lose shape and make the dish mushy.
Step 4
I decided to add yellow tomatoes for color.
Step 5
Wash the eggplants, pat them dry, and cut into large cubes. If they taste bitter, sprinkle with salt and leave for 10 minutes. Then rinse and drain. Usually, young or certain varieties don’t need this step.
Step 6
Slice half an onion into half-rings. If you or your children don’t like onions, simply omit them.
Step 7
Finely chop the garlic.
Step 8
Wash, dry, and finely chop the herbs. Use whatever you prefer - I used parsley, but dill, cilantro, green onion, or ramsons also work well.
Step 9
Heat vegetable oil in a pan. Add the chopped zucchini, onion, eggplant, and tomatoes.
Step 10
Pour in a little water. Simmer the vegetables over low heat under a lid for 40-50 minutes without stirring. They should shrink by about one-third and release plenty of juice.
Step 11
10-15 minutes before done, sprinkle with chopped garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue simmering under the lid until tender. Optionally, sprinkle with dried herbs such as Provençal mix or vegetable seasoning.
Step 12
Sprinkle with chopped parsley at the end and turn off the heat. Serve hot. Enjoy your meal!
