• 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups diced yellow onions
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 cups diced eggplant, skin on

Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are wilted and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add eggplant and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until eggplant is partially cooked, about 5 minutes. Add bell peppers, zucchini, and squash. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
