Preparation
- Preheat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil the eggplant slices until they are nicely browned, turning them once to brown both sides. Coarsely chop the eggplant and set it aside.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a heavy skillet. Add the onion, red pepper and garlic and saute over low heat until these vegetables are tender. Add the zucchini and tomatoes, increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking the mixture, stirring it from time to time, until the zucchini has wilted. Stir in the diced eggplant.
- Add the thyme, basil, salt and pepper and vinegar. Cook a few minutes longer until the ingredients are nicely combined. At this point additional olive oil can be added to taste.
- Serve the ratatouille hot or at room temperature.
