From an old Dallas Cowboy Wives cookbook, this is wonderful served over hot cooked rice.
Ingredients:
1 medium eggplant
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 medium red pepper
1 medium green pepper
4 medium zucchini
3 medium tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
1 lb raw peeled and deveined shrimp
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Directions:
1. Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch thick slices, then into chunks. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and let stand 30 minutes. Dry thoroughly.
2. Peel and slice onions. Core both peppers and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the tomatoes and cut into coarse cubes.
3. Heat oil in a large frying pan and saute onions and garlic for 2 minutes.
4. Add peppers and cook for 2 minutes more.
5. Add eggplant and brown lightly on both sides, about 3 minutes.
6. Add zucchini, tomatoes, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer gently, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Stir often to baste vegetables with liquid while cooking.
