The method
Step by step
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Cook’s note: Using a heavy-bottomed pot will help prevent the vegetables from sticking and ensures even cooking.

Add the cubed eggplant and zucchini to the hot oil and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and lightly brown.
About 8 min
Cook’s note: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure the vegetables sauté rather than steam.

Stir in the chopped green bell pepper and yellow onion.

Continue to cook for another 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers and onion have softened.
About 6 min

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more, until it becomes fragrant.
