• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 red or yellow bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
• 1/2 lb smoked ham, cut into 1/2 inch dice (i suggest using tasso ham, it would be a realy good choice if you can find it.)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large bay leaves
• 11/2 tsps minced fresh oregano (or 3/4 tsp if you are using dried)
• 1 tsp minced fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp if you are using dried thyme)

• 1 small eggplant about 1/2 lb, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch dice
• 1 can (14 oz) dice tomatoes, with the juice
• 1/2 cups chicken stock (preferrable homemade) if you are preparing this as a vegetarian dish, leaving out the ham, then you can use vegetable stock.

• Sea salt and ground pepper to taste
