For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a clove of minced garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables as they cook. Fresh herbs like basil or oregano, added at the end, can brighten the dish. Serve with a side of couscous, quinoa, or a crusty bread to soak up the delicious pan juices. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, a can of diced tomatoes (drained) works well.
