Recipe Method
1. For croûtons, sprinkle bread slices with 1 T. of the
cheese. Place bread on a
baking sheet and
bake in a 400 F. oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until toasted.
Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, peel eggplant (if desired). Cut into 3/4" cubes (should be about 2 cups). Coat an unheated large nonstick saucepan with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add eggplant, zucchini/squash and garlic to pan. Cook and stir about 5 minutes or until vegetables are nearly tender. Add tomato juice, dried basil (if using) and dried rosemary (if using).
3. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in beans. Simmer uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes more or until vegetables are tender. Stir in tomato, fresh basil and rosemary (if using), and pepper. Heat through. Remove from heat; stir in balsamic vinegar.
4. To serve, ladle stew into bowls. Top each serving with a crouton and sprinkle with some of the remaining 2 T. cheese.
