• Ingredients: 15
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup olive oil
• 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 medium zucchini, chopped
• 1 medium summer squash, chopped
• 1 large eggplant
• 2 celery ribs, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (8 ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes, medium heat
• 1⁄4 cup black olives, halved
• 1⁄4 cup green olives, halved
• 1⁄4 cup raisins
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 1⁄4 cup capers (optional)

directions

1. Over medium heat get oil hot. Add first six veggies (onion-garlic). Simmer about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives, raisins, and, if desired, mushrooms and capers. Simmer a few minutes. Add vinegar and sugar. Simmer 10 minutes. Taste. If it tastes a little vinegary, that's good, because vinegar will get milder s it cools. Cook until veggies are done to your liking.
2. This recipe doesn't specify the amount it makes. I'm estimating 8 servings. I've also estimated the prep/cooking time. I'll have to modify it after I've tried it.
