STOVETOP
7/10
Provencal stew of eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, and tomatoes slowly cooked in olive oil with herbs.
Why It Works
Cooking each vegetable separately before combining preserves their individual textures. Slow simmering allows the pectin from tomatoes to bind everything into a silky stew.
