Ingredients

  • 100 g onions
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 250 g eggplant
  • 250 g zucchini
  • 250 g Potatoes
  • 600 g tomato flesh (skinless and seeded, chopped)
  • 50 ml olive oil
  • 200 ml vegetable broth
  • 2 fresh sage leaves
  • Salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 100 g sheep cheese
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped basil

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Dice onions finely, mince garlic. Cut eggplant lengthwise into halves or quarters, then into 3 cm pieces. Slice zucchini lengthwise and also into 3 cm pieces; wash potatoes thoroughly and cut them lengthwise into eighths or 1.5 cm thick sticks. Blanch in boiling salted water for 3 minutes, shock with ice water.

  2. 2.

    Sauté the vegetables in a non‑stick pan one at a time in hot olive oil, then transfer to a covered oven‑proof pot.

  3. 3.

    Add tomato pieces to the pan, season with salt and pepper, steam for about 4 minutes over medium heat, then add them to the stew pot. Add potatoes, mix everything, lay sage leaves on top, cover and simmer for about 1 hour 15 minutes at 175 °C until vegetables and potatoes are tender. Crumble sheep cheese over the dish, briefly broil uncovered, sprinkle with basil, and serve Mediterranean slow‑cooked vegetables.
