Recipe: Easy Eggplant And Tomato Harvest Skillet

This is one of my favorite ways to use up some of that extra eggplant from my CSA! Or check out your local farmer's market and load up on fresh summer veggies for this delicious light dish packed full of flavor, vitamins and nutrients. For a heartier meal, serve over cooked pasta or brown rice.
