Ratatouille recipe?

It is one of these things where you do not need an exact recipe:
This is the basic idea: Brown some onions and garlic in olive oil, add peppers, eggplants (cut them and let them soak in salted water for a while before cooking), zucchini and fresh tomatoes, add herbs to taste (laurel is a must for ratatouille, but thyme or basil also work really well), add enough water to barely cover the vegetables, cover the pot, lower the heat and let food cook until the vegetables are tender. When the food is half done, add salt and pepper to taste. You can be creative and add extra vegetables to the basic ones, like potatoes, green beans, okra etc. I also sometimes add extra tomato paste and a bit of wine. Or I make a variation of baking the dish in the oven instead of using a pot, sprinkled with goat cheese.

3 tomatoes, 1 eggplant, 1 pepper, 1 zucchini, 1 onion, bit of garlic, chop it all, put in slow cooker, spice it up, put on low for 8 hours.

Super easy. Or you can just let it simmer in a big pan. My mom used more veggies but they were much smaller in France. I can't fit more than that in my crockpot.
