Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 small purple eggplants cut in 1″ thick rounds and quarter
- 2 small yellow zucchinis cut in 1″ thick rounds and cut in half-moons
- 1/2 Vidalia onion, cut in medium strips
- 1/2 red pepper, seeded, roughly cut
- 4 ounces cherry tomatoes
- 2 small garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 tsp. canola oil
- 5 basil leaves, thinly sliced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Preparation:
- Place cut eggplants in a colander and sprinkle with a little bit of salt. Let stand for 10-15 minutes to drain excess liquid.
- Once drained, place eggplant on a bowl and drizzle one teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle some the black pepper. Place other ingredients in a separate bowl and drizzle with the rest of the olive oil and salt and black pepper to taste.
- Heat sauté pan at medium-high and place eggplant; cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Toss rest of ingredients in the pan and cook until fork tender, 2-3 minutes. Don’t overcook because vegetables will lose their crispness. Serve and sprinkle with fresh basil.
