  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 medium yellow squash
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 red bell pepper

  • ½ Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup strawberries, sliced

  2. In medium stock pot, saute garlic and onion in olive oil.
  3. Add eggplant and saute for 5 minutes.

Handling & Storage

It is best to use eggplant within one day of purchase; but it can be refrigerated for up to four days. Eggplants bruise easily, so handle with care.

Cooked eggplant can be refrigerated for 3 days. Freeze pureed eggplant up to 6 months with a little bit of lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
