There is an extra vegetable in the photo that is not in the recipe. Is it green bell? Okra?

Very delish for a vegetarian dish - if you double the paprika it really gives it a kick.

I enjoyed this and will make it again, but I think next time I will increase the spices a bit. It seemed, too, like the roasting time for the eggplant could be decreased or it needs to be stirred more frequently, as mine got charred in spots.
