Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 winter squash, such as acorn, carnival or delicata, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
6 baby waxy potatoes, such as new or blue, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 sweet potato, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Toss the squash and potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking pan and roast, stirring once or twice, until tender and golden brown in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, rosemary and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and roasted vegetables and simmer until slightly thickened and the flavors have blended, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.

WINTER RATATOUILLE (WITH OPTION TO MAKE INTO A GREAT APPETIZER!)



Winter Ratatouille (With Option to Make Into a Great Appetizer!) image

I made this into an appetizer for New Year's Eve and it was a huge hit! I also had enough leftover ratatouille for a side dish the next day. This is a great, easy and healthy recipe. It is very versatile: adjust the veggies to your liking, make into an appetizer (see directions and note below), enjoy as a vegan main dish or serve as a side. *Oh, I just thought of another great idea, you could serve this over pasta...yum! **Please do look at my extra notes about olive oil amount and cooking time for the veggies. Both are personal preference and I noted what I like to do.**

Time 28m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (may to need to add more as the veggies cook)
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
1 medium orange bell pepper, diced
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 medium yellow squash, diced
1/2 medium eggplant, diced (I used a bit less and left the eggplant unpeeled, but you could peel it if desired)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
45 frozen miniature phyllo cups

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, cook for 2 minutes. Add yellow and orange bell peppers and cook for another 2 minutes. Add zucchini, yellow squash and eggplant and cook for 2 more minutes. Add garlic, tomato, salt and pepper and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Note: I like to continue cooking all the veggies for several more minutes. It's a personal thing, I like my ratatoullie veggies really soft and like letting the flavors meld together.
  • Note: You may need to add some additional olive oil as you add more veggies. This depends on the size of your veggies and your personal preference. I usually do add a tablespoon or two more as I cook out the veggies.
  • To make into an appetizer:.
  • Spoon ratatouille into the mini phyllo cups and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 8 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Note: you could also choose to fist put in a bit of boursin cheese into the phyllo tart first, then add the ratatouille on top and bake as directed.

Found this in a free magazine at the supermarket.... You can replace some of the water with red wine for extra oomph. (edit to add...I did this, and it was very nice, but I felt the wine overpowered the flavour a bit. Maybe I put too much in!!)

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
3 parsnips, peeled and cubed
3 carrots, peeled and cubed
1 swede, peeled and cubed
1 onion, peeled and cut into 8 segments
1 head garlic, unpeeled and broken into cloves
15 g fresh sage
olive oil flavored cooking spray
2 (395 g) cans cherry tomatoes
500 ml cold water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/Gas 6.
  • Put the vegetables, garlic and half the sage in a large deep roasting tin. Season and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
  • Roast, turning occasionally for 30 minutes, until nicely browned.
  • Remove from oven and add the cherry tomatoes and the cold water.
  • Cover the dish with a baking tray or tin foil.
  • Lower the oven to 190c/gas 5 and cook for a further 1-1.5 hours stirring occasionally until vegetables are very tender.
  • Check the seasoning and stir in the balsamic vinegar and scatter over the rest of the sage.
  • Serve with Baked Saffron Rice. Recipe #216629.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor. Look for firm, brightly colored vegetables that are free of blemishes.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the vegetables into 1-inch cubes or wedges.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of roasting. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a nice roasted flavor. Roast the vegetables at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
  • Season the vegetables well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to season the vegetables. Some good options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted vegetables are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Winter ratatouille is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
