Add the olive oil to a pot along with the chopped onion and sauté until the onions are softened.
Add crushed garlic and sauté until lightly browned.
Add the chopped eggplant, sliced zucchini, chopped bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, sea salt and ground black pepper and toss everything together.
Cover the pot and simmer at medium heat for around 35 minutes until the veggies are soft and cooked. Give it a stir occasionally, but stir gently so that the vegetables don't break up.
When the veggies are soft and cooked, stir in the fresh chopped basil until it's just wilted.
Serve as a stew topped with a sprinkle of ground black pepper and dried oregano with some toasted bread on the side for dipping.

Melissa Eagleton on 2024-07-13 (5 stars): really easy to make and full of flavour. we really enjoyed it
Marnie on 2022-05-02 (5 stars): I love this recipe and how easy it is. I did make some modifications because I despise eggplant - reminds me of my ex-husband - LOL! I added extra zucchini, and chunks of carrots. I served it over some raw broccoli and it was amazing. Thank you so much, Alison, for another amazing recipe. I will be making this every week now as it is spring in Vancouver. Next time I will try it over some chickpea pasta.
claire on 2020-11-26 (5 stars): Hi , cant wait to try! Do i need to peel the eggplant?
Duane on 2020-09-17 (5 stars): I've never had a ratatouille before and this was awesome. It's Spring in Australia so this is definitely going to be a Spring and Summer dish.
Because eggplant has a habit of biting me back (makes my tongue itch) I sliced the eggplants first and ground salt over them and stacked them between paper towelling and sat a plate on top to squeeze out as much excess water as possible. I let them sit for 1/2 hour until the paper towels were soaked and chopped them for the dish. Worked out perfect.
Janine on 2020-09-04 (5 stars): Nope, it doesn’t stick at all. And I did not use a non-stick pot! The tomatoes make it get very saucy.
Janine on 2020-09-04 (5 stars): This was AMAZING! Could not believe how tasty it was and so easy to make too. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
