EGGPLANT RATATOUILLE 
1 sm. eggplant
1/2 lg. red pepper
1/2 lg. green pepper
3/4 c. white wine
1 med. onion, sliced thinly
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. minced oregano
1 tsp. minced thyme
3 tbsp. minced fresh basil
2 lg. tomatoes, coarsely chopped
Salt & freshly ground pepper
2 med. zucchini
1 med. tomato, coarsely chopped
3 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly oil. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and gently score down the center of the cut sides, being careful not to cut through the skin. Place on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

When cool, carefully remove the skin and cut into 3/4 inch cubes. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, cut crosswise in strips about 1/4 inch wide. Heat the wine in a large heavy casserole and saute the onion and garlic for 3 minutes. Add the peppers and eggplant and cook a further 5 minutes. Add the herbs, 2 chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir to combine.

Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, and then in large slices; add along with the remaining chopped tomato. Cook an additional 10 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and stir in the parsley. Let rest for 1 hour or so. Gently heat and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Very good. I did do it a little different. I cubed eggplant and salted. Then cut the rest of the veggies. No, wine or parsley. More fresh basil. cooked for 2hrs coverd in a stone dish. let rest for 5 min. served with garlic french bread. the amounts of veggies are perfect for our taste and the thyme and oregano a nice touch.
