  4. Thoroughly cook the zucchini, eggplant, onions, beans, and tomatoes in the preheated Dutch oven.
     
  5. Season with the maple syrup, salt, and pepper and deglaze with Bitburger Radler. Pour in the tomato sauce and leave to simmer with the lid on for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with the herbs to finish.
