Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/3 cup olive oil -- plus

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 medium onions -- thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves

28 ounces peeled tomatoes (with juice) -- canned

4 bell peppers -- julienned

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 large eggplant -- peeled and diced

3 medium zucchini -- cut into 1/2-inch slices

 

Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add 1/3 cup of the oil and the

onion. Saute until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Remove onion and garlic from the pan and set aside. Quarter the tomatoes,

reserving any juice. Set aside. Layer the bottom of the skillet with the

peppers, salt and pepper, and 1/4 of the onion-garlic mixture. Then layer with

the eggplant, more salt and pepper, and another 1/4 of the onion-garlic mixture.

Repeat the layers using the zucchini, then the tomatoes in place of the eggplant

and finally topping with the remaining onion-garlic mixture. Pour in the

reserved tomato juice and top with remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Cover and

simmer over very low heat for 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and cook an additional

10 minutes to reduce the liquid.
