Summer is in full swing. The market is full of seasonal fruits and veggies just waiting to be used. This recipe is a lighter version of this classic comfort food. I used red pepper, eggplant, onion, and tomato but feel free to add or omit whatever veggies to suit your own preferences. For a gourmet touch, you might want to add goat cheese or fresh arugula leaves. This is a perfect dish to highlight the foods of summer.
