Instructions: Well, Im on my second helping of this dish and have 8 more servings packed away in the freezer. Its based on Gabe Mirkins "Famous Bean-Aubergine-Tomato Casserole". Modified because my dry beans turned out too old to use, I bought a different tomato product (crushed tomatoes rather than whole plum), and the full recipe wouldnt fit in my huge Dutch Oven pot (the larger stockpot was in the dishwasher :-P) so I used fewer beans and only 2 cans of tomatoes rather than 3. Anyway, it really hit the spot, I was starving.

In a very large pot or stockpot, bring onions, garlic, green peppers, tomatoes, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add aubergine and beans and simmer for 25 minutes.

Warning: makes very large amount. If you make it all, freeze some in individual serving containers for later meals.
