Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion, eggplant, mushrooms, salt, and black pepper to the pot; mix well.

Add the halved garlic cloves and green olives to the pot; stir to combine.

Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to brown.

Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to deglaze the pot, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom.

Stir in the halved mini tomatoes, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and capers; mix everything together.

Reduce heat to medium and cover the pot; cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Check for doneness; the garlic should be soft and the vegetables should have a bit of body left.
