Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Peel the pearl onions.

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pearl onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

  3. 3

    Prepare Basil Pistou

    In a food processor, combine the fresh basil and a tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding more oil if necessary to reach desired consistency.
