Usually a vegetable only stew but I like to add grilled sliced Italian sausages to it in the end.
1. In a large pot simmer tomatoes, garlic, parsley, basil, and 1/3 cup of oil for approx. 30 minutes.
2. While sauce is simmering, toss eggplant with 1/2 tsp salt and let stand in colander for 30 minutes.
3. Saute each remaining vegetable separately with 3 tbsp oil each for 10 to 12 minutes each. Ending with eggplant.
4. Add vegetables, remaining oil, approx 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp of pepper to tomato sauce and simmer, covered, stirring occationally, until vegetables are tender (approx 1 hr)More Entrees Recipes
