5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 red onions, diced
1 eggplant, cut into small cubes
1 red pepper, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 potato, cut into small cubes
6 garlic cloves, minced (crushed)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups long-grain rice

Steps:

HEAT 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan. COOK the onions for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
ADD the red pepper, eggplant and zucchini and cook for 5 minutes, then add the potato, garlic and oregano and cook for 1 minute. ADD the tomatoes, stock, salt and pepper, stir well to combine and bring to a boil.
REDUCE the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

REMOVE from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
SERVE over rice with crumbled feta cheese on top (alternatively serve with bulgur or crusty bread instead of rice).
