A favourite Mediterranean dish, this roasted ratatouille makes the best of summer vegetables.
Ratatouille epitomizes the cornucopia of summer vegetables.
It is one of my favourite Mediterranean dishes because it is so versatile. You can have it hot or warm, it pairs perfectly with all grains as well as meat or fish.
Traditionally it is cooked as a stew. Here I decided to roast the vegetables to give them a deeper flavour.
I created this recipe as part of the Food Waste Challenge from AO.com.
You can use any leftovers to make a delicious lasagna.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. If you make this recipe, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
