1 cup eggplant, peeled, diced small squares
2 cloves garlic, minced

This is a really interesting recipe! I got it from Whole Foods, and I didn't
serve it over anything (like suggested at the end), just ate it as is, and it
was pretty good! I did add more veggies than they suggest--I upped the 1/2 cups
to 1 cup for each one listed (onion through celery), which made it a little more
substantial since I didn't put it over a starch/grain.
Heat a little water/broth in a large non stick pan. Sauté first ten
ingredients for 5 minutes adding a little water to prevent sticking. Add
tomatoes and tomato juice and continue to sauté for 3 minutes longer. Add all
remaining ingredients and sauté 1 minute longer to heat through. Serve in large
bowls over toasted bread rounds, polenta, or cooked small elbow pasta, ditalini,
or orzo.
