Method:

1. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the eggplant, zucchini, onion, peppers, and garlic.

2. Sauté for 15 to 20 minutes, turning with a spatula from time to time so it all comes in contact with the olive oil. Once the vegetables are all starting to look about half­cooked, add the tomatoes (including the liquid), olives, oregano, salt, and pepper.

3. Stir it all together, cover, turn the burner to low, and let the whole thing simmer for 40 minutes or so.
