What You’ll Need:

1 eggplant

2 zucchinis

4-5 tomatoes

1 red, orange, or yellow bell pepper

1 cup tomato sauce

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Fresh rosemary

Paprika

What You’ll Do:

  • Start by warming 1 tablespoon of olive oil over low-medium heat in a cast iron dish
  • Chop the red pepper and add it to the dish—be sure to turn with a spoon so it doesn’t stick. Let the pepper cook for about 8 minutes or until tender
  • Chop the eggplant into 1 inch cubes and add to the dish—you may need to add a little more oil to the pan since eggplant absorbs moisture
  • Cover the dish and let cook for about 8 minutes, the eggplant should melt and get a bit soft
  • Chop the zucchini into 1 inch cubes and add to the dish and cover, turning occasionally for about 8 minutes
  • Now, chop the tomatoes and add them to dish, as well as the 1 cup of tomato sauce
  • Add salt & pepper to taste, along with 1/4-1 teaspoon of paprika and fresh rosemary
  • Allow to cook on very low heat for at least 10 minutes
  • Serve Ratatouille with a side of Lamb Meatballs or quinoa
