Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 large onion, sliced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
3 tomatoes, cored and diced
1 (13.5 ounce) jar tomato and olive pasta sauce (such as Papayiannides® Tomato & Olive & Ouzo Sauce)
2 Japanese eggplants, diced
2 zucchini, diced
1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
4 sprigs fresh thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low; stir onion and bell peppers into garlic. Cover pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Remove lid; cook and stir until all liquid has evaporated and onion begins to brown, about 2 minutes.
Stir tomatoes into onion mixture; cover and simmer until tomatoes release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir tomato sauce, eggplant, zucchini, chickpeas, parsley, basil, and thyme into tomato mixture; season with salt and pepper.
Cover pot with a lid; cook until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove lid and simmer ratatouille, uncovered, until thick, about 5 minutes; adjust salt and pepper to taste.

CHICKPEA AND FENNEL RATATOUILLE

Chickpea and Fennel Ratatouille image

This ratatouille with chickpeas and fennel is among the best I've ever made. It's a recipe for what you might call A Vegan Day. Being a vegan is not my point, and anyway, it's as easy to create an unhealthy full-time vegan diet as it is to eat brilliantly as a part-time vegan. When fruits and vegetables are at their best, they give you insight into how the vegan thing can work for you, if only for a day. And given a moderate degree of freshness, most conventional vegetables from ordinary supermarkets can be made to taste good when gardens go dormant.

Ingredients

1 pound eggplant (smaller is better), peeled if you like, and cut into large chunks
3/4 pound zucchini, cut into large chunks
1 pound Roma (plum) tomatoes, cored and chopped, or 1 28-ounce can, drained
1 onion, sliced
2 red or yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded and sliced
1 fennel bulb (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into large chunks
5 garlic cloves, halved
1 teaspoon salt, more to taste
Black pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or rosemary, or 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil or parsley

Steps:

Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine all ingredients except oil, chickpeas and herbs in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with oil and toss to combine.
Transfer to oven and roast, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned and tender and some water has been released from the tomatoes to create a sauce, 30 to 40 minutes.
Add chickpeas, stir and return to oven until beans heat through, 5 to 10 minutes. Add herbs and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
