Golden-edged eggplant and zucchini simmer down with sweet bell peppers, onion, and garlic in a rich crushed tomato base, seasoned with herbes de Provence and fresh thyme until every vegetable turns silky and the whole pot thickens into a deeply flavorful stew. A splash of red wine vinegar at the end brightens everything up, and torn basil scattered over the top adds a fresh, fragrant finish. It's the kind of low-fuss, vegetable-forward cooking that tastes even better the next day, whether you serve it warm over grains, piled onto crusty bread, or chilled straight from the fridge. Built entirely from garden vegetables and pantry staples, this is a naturally easy fit for a vegetarian table, no fuss and no shortage of flavor.

Add 1 tbsp of the remaining olive oil to the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden at the edges, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the eggplant.
