1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon freshly chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
sauté onions in a small amount of PAM until they are translucent
add garlic, thyme, basil, salt, pepper, and bay leaves
cook about two minutes
add tomatoes
simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
add eggplant, zucchini, red and green peppers
simmer covered for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally but do not break up the vegetables
the dish can be served immediately but is best if allowed to chill overnight so the ingredients meld (it then can be served cold, at room temperature, or heated)
