Prep the veggies.
Cook the eggplant in some olive oil first. It takes a bit to get it softened. Then cook onions in a little more olive oil and add remaining veggies. When almost done, add 1 Tablespoon of your favorite tapenade, salt and pepper and you're done.
I always have a couple of varieties of tapenade in my fridge. Yes, I love olives! Don't worry if you don't like olives, it only adds a hint of flavor to the veggies.
