Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 large eggplant
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 50 grams feta cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
Cut the zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper into bite-sized cubes.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the red onion to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the eggplant to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
Next, add the zucchini and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and stir gently.
If desired, crumble feta cheese over the vegetables just before serving to enhance the Mediterranean flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm as a side dish or with crusty bread for a light meal.
