Quick And Easy Ratatouille

• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic minced and divided
• 1 yellow onion medium sweet
• 1 eggplant small
• 2 zucchini smalls
• 1 pint heirloom tomatoes mini, cherry or grape tomatoes if you can't get heirloom
• sea salt
• ground pepper fresh

1. Slice your eggplant into 1/2 inch slices, set in a colander and salt. Let sit 15 minutes before rinsing, patting dry and then cutting into 1/2 inch cubes. Set aside.
2. Slice onion into 1/2 inch slices. Set aside.
3. Slice zucchini into 1/2 inch disks. Set aside.
4. Wash and dry tomatoes. Set aside.
5. Set one large heavy bottom pan to the side.
6. Place four medium sized pans over medium heat with one tablespoon of olive oil in each. Once hot, begin to saute onion in one pan, eggplant in another pan, zucchini in another pan and tomatoes in the last pan. You are going to add a clove of minced garlic and a pinch of sea salt and pepper to each pan near the last 2 minutes of cooking time:
7. Onion should be cooked until almost carmelized, about 16 - 18 minutes.
8. Eggplant should be cooked until very soft, about 16 - 18 minutes.
9. Zucchini should be soft and slightly browning (you might have to turn the heat up at the end for a couple minutes), about 14 - 16 minutes.
10. Tomatoes should be soft and almost to the point of breaking, about 8 -1 0 minutes.
11. Once all the vegetables are cooked and transfered to the large pan, set the large pan on medium heat and saute gently until warmed through. Taste and adjust seasonings if neccessary then serve.
