1 Eggplant

2 lb Zucchini

4 md Potatoes

2 Green peppers

1 Red pepper

2 md Onions

1 c Olive oil

4 md Tomatoes

2 Garlic cloves

1 t Sugar

Salt and pepper,

-to taste

Prepare the vegetables: Cut the eggplant, zucchini and potatoes in bite

sized chunks (do not peel the zucchini or the eggplant). Remove the stems

and seeds from the peppers and slice them into strips. Peel and slice the

onions. Dice the tomatoes.

Saute the vegetables except the tomatoes in the olive oil in small batches.

Saute each batch for 2 or 3 minutes, then remove from the pan, trying to

drain some of the oil so that enough oil is left for the next batch. When

you're done, most (if not all) of the oil should be gone from the pan.

Place the sauteed vegetables in a baking dish and toss them briefly so that

you won't get only one kind of vegetable in one place.

Add the tomatoes into the pan and saute for a couple of minutes. Crush the

garlic and add to the tomatoes. Add the sugar, salt and pepper to taste

and simmer for another minute. Pour the tomato sauce on top of the

vegetables and bake at 350 degrees F. or until the vegetables are tender.

Serve with plenty of fresh bread and, if you like, some feta cheese on the

side.
