    This was fabulous, easy to cook and full of flavour. It may be my husband’s favorite meal now!

    I come back to your simple but delish recipe time & time again! I add white beans for protein, when I add the eggplant & zucchini back to the pot. So healthy 🙂

    I have just made this using zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, basil and herbs from my garden. Such a delicious recipe with just a touch of heat and sweet.
