Chef Fred's Rustic Ratatouille
Ingredients:
½ small eggplant
diced into 1-inch squares
1 zucchini (quartered, seeded, oblique cut)
1 yellow squash (quartered, seeded, oblique cut)
½ small red onion, medium diced
4 oz multicolor cherry or grape tomatoes
2 large fresh basil leaves, chopped
5 leaves fresh oregano, chopped
2 oz extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Toss tomatoes in oil and blister slightly on stovetop, in pan, or in roaster.
