Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more as needed
  • 1 1/2 cups small diced yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups medium diced eggplant, skin on
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 1 cup diced yellow squash

4.    Add the zucchini and squash and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.

5.    Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook for a final 5 minutes.

6.    Stir well to blend, dress with parmesan and truffle oil.
