Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound eggplant, cut into 1-inch dice

1/2 pound white mushrooms, halved

Salt and pepper

1 pound zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch chunks

2 1/2 cups water

1 can tomato puree (14 1/2 ounces)

1 can (14 1/2 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

2 teaspoons wine vinegar

1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, eggplant, mushrooms, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggplant begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.

Add zucchini, water, and tomato puree, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until eggplant is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in beans, vinegar, and parsley, and cook just until heated through, about 5 minutes.
