Ingredients
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
- 3 cups of chopped tomatoes
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 small eggplant, thinly sliced
- 3 zucchinis, thinly sliced
- 2 yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 2 red onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried Herbs de Provence
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Preheat oven to 190C
- Place a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion, sauté the onion until tender. Then, add the garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Add the tomato paste and the chopped tomatoes and cook for 15 minutes with a ¾ cup of water to form a sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread this mixture along the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Toss sliced vegetables in a bit of olive oil, just enough to very lightly coat them along with the herb de provence.
- Take the thinly sliced eggplant, zucchini, and peppers and begin arranging them along the outer edge of the dish and alternating between vegetables.
- You’ll follow the outer edge of the dish and then work in a circle toward the middle, until you get to the centre.
- Finish by drizzling the top of the vegetables with two tablespoons of olive oil and adding salt and pepper to taste. Cover the dish with foil paper.
- Bake until the vegetables are tender and fully roasted, about 45 minutes.
