Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).

In large saucepan, melt butter. Sauté onions and garlic until tender. Add eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms and green bell pepper to pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Add tomatoes, parsley, oregano and basil. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon mixture into a 6-cup (1.5 L) shallow rectangular casserole or four 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) shallow baking dishes.

Slice Canadian Mozzarella cheese into strips and arrange in criss-cross pattern over vegetables. Sprinkle lightly with Canadian Parmesan cheese. Bake 10 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Tips

Choose eggplant with smooth skin and uniform colour. The eggplant should feel heavy for its size and should bounce back when pressed. Usually smaller eggplants are sweeter and more tender than larger ones.
