3. 1 yellow bell pepper
4. 1 red bell pepper
5. 1 green bell pepper
6. 1 packet of Kagome Tomato Puree
7. 1 onion

9. 3 tablespoons of olive oil
10. 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
11. 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
12. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the vegetables. Peel the eggplant and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Slice the zucchinis into thick rounds. Remove the seeds and membranes from the bell peppers, and cut them into chunks. Peel and dice the onion. Peel and mince the garlic. 
2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.

5. Once the vegetables are tender and cooked through, remove the skillet from heat. 
6. Serve the ratatouille hot or at room temperature, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
