Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the sliced red, yellow, and orange bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

  3. Stir in the sliced zucchini and diced eggplant. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to cook down and become tender.

  4. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.

  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

  7. Once the Vegetarian Poulet Basquaise is ready, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and an extra burst of freshness.

  8. Serve the Vegetarian Poulet Basquaise hot with some crusty bread on the side for dipping and enjoy.
