-------- ------------ --------------------------------
    1                    Eggplant
    2       lb           Zucchini
    4       md           Potatoes
    2                    Green peppers
    1                    Red pepper
    2       md           Onions
    1       c            Olive oil
    4       md           Tomatoes
    2                    Garlic cloves
    1       t            Sugar
                         Salt & pepper -- to taste

   (1) Prepare the vegetables: Cut the eggplant, zucchini and potatoes
in bite sized chunks (do not peel the zucchini or the eggplant).
Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and slice them into
strips. Peel and slice the onions. Dice the tomatoes.      (2) Saute' the
vegetables except the tomatoes in the olive oil in      small batches.
Saut' each batch for 2 or 3 minutes, then remove      from the pan, trying
to drain some of the oil so that enough oil      is left for the next
batch. When you're done, most (if not all)      of the oil should be gone
from the pan.      (3) Place the saute'ed vegetables in a baking dish
and toss them      briefly so that you won't get only one kind of
vegetable in one      place.      (4) Add the tomatoes into the pan and
saut' for a couple of minutes.      Crush the garlic and add to the
tomatoes. Add the sugar, salt and      pepper to taste and simmer for
another minute.      (5) Pour the tomato sauce on top of the vegetables and
bake at 350      deg. F or until the vegetables are tender.      (6)
Serve with plenty of fresh bread and, if you like, some feta
cheese on the side.      RATING   Difficulty: easy.   Time: 30-45 minutes
preparation, 1 hour   baking. Precision: No need to measure.
