This makes a great hot weather meal because you serve it just warm or at room temperature. Hearty enough to make on it's own, or it can be a side dish. This recipe makes a lot so it's perfect to serve at a gathering.

2 bell peppers (red, yellow or orange), cut into pieces
4 small zucchini, cut into bite sized pieces
Red onion, thinly cut
2 cloves garlic, minced
