Sometimes its a matter of tossing everything in a pan and just sautee-ing; sometimes its roasting, or pairing veg I'd never thought would go together. I remember one time I paired eggplant with guar - veg that would *never* be put together in traditional Indian cooking - but that perfectly complemented each other with the moisture from the eggplant and the dryness of the guar.
