EGGPLANT, ZUCCHINI AND SWEET RED PEPPER STEW

Steps:

• Place eggplant in a colander and sprinkle with salt.
• Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot. Rinse eggplant and pat dry. Saute until slightly browned. Stir in onion and saute until transparent. Stir in garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in rice, zucchini, red bell pepper, tomatoes, wine, water, salt and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture reaches a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
• Remove from heat and stir in basil, parsley and rosemary.

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI WITH TOMATOES, MUSHROOMS, PEPPERS, AND BASIL

Steps:

• Add the sliced zucchini and cook stirring until the zucchini starts to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper and mushrooms and continue cooking until all the vegetables are nearly fork tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and stir, cooking just until the tomatoes are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the basil and cook for 1 more minute, then transfer to a dish and serve with (optional) Parmesan cheese and basil leaves for garnish.

Steps:

• Rinse the zucchini and peel the eggplant. Rinse the peppers, halve lengthwise, remove the seeds and white ribs. Cut the vegetables into bite-size cubes. Rinse, core and slice the tomatoes. Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion. Rinse the thyme, shake dry and strip the leaves.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F) convection. Oil a baking dish.
• Mix the zucchini with the eggplant, peppers, onion and garlic and pour into the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper, pour the wine over and cover with the tomato slices.

Bake until the vegetables are tender and the dish is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

GREEK PASTA SALAD WITH SHRIMP, TOMATOES, ZUCCHINI, PEPPERS, AND FETA

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, mustard, garlic, pinch of salt, and pepper; slowly pour in 2/3 cup olive oil, whisking constantly. Pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid to transport it to the picnic.
• Adjust oven rack to highest position and turn broiler on high. Toss zucchini and bell pepper with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste, and arrange on a large baking sheet with sides. Broil until spotty brown, 8 to 10 minutes, turning zucchini slices and pepper halves once. Set aside in a large bowl to cool, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Bring 1 gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to boil. Add pasta; boil using package times, until just tender. Drain thoroughly (do not rinse) and dump onto the baking sheet. Set aside to cool.
• Put vegetables, pasta and remaining ingredients (except dressing) in the bowl or a gallon-sized zipper bag (can be refrigerated for several hours). When ready to serve, add dressing; toss to coat.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI AND PEPPERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven and prep veggies: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C), then wash and cut vegetables. Slice the ends off of zucchini, then cut into 1/4 inch (1/2 centimeter) slices. Cut bell peppers in half, remove the seeds, then cut into thin slices.
• Season vegetables: Place sliced zucchini and peppers on a sheet pan and combine with a drizzle of olive oil. Once completely coated in oil, season the vegetables with sliced garlic, salt, pepper and any other dried or fresh herbs that you prefer.
• Roast vegetables: Bake veggies in the oven until soft and brown around the edges, which will take about 25 minutes. 10-15 minutes into cooking, toss the vegetables so they brown on all sides. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish, or let them cool and mix into salads.
