Ratatouille Spiralled
This is our spiralled take on ratatouille. It just makes it a little fancier. Instead of the usual rustic chopped vegetables, the slices are layered in a spiral pattern that looks just as impressive as it tastes. It is a simple twist that turns a humble side dish into something that elevates your dinner to restaurant quality.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggplants
- 3 zucchinis
- 6 to 8 roma tomatoes
- 1 red onion
- 500ml passata / tomato sauce
- Dried Italian Herbs or Oregano
- Salt and Pepper
Method:
- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees.
- Thinly slice all vegetables. This is best done with a mandolin (be very careful of your fingers)
- Grab your best cast iron pan. Spread half your passata sauce on the bottom of your dish.
- Layer your vegetables in a clockwise direction beginning in the middle and moving outwards.
- Fill in any gaps between the vegies with your remaining passata. You may not need it all.
- Season with salt and pepper and herbs.
- Cook uncovered for 45 mins to an hour
