Ratatouille

Upon watching Disney's Ratatouille, Post insisted on eating the dish featured in the film.
So…..of course…….
i
got
to
work.
With a twist of Rasta, deletion of eggplant, and the elation of tastebuds this recipe popped out of my brain.

Ratatouille with Goat Cheese Soufflé and Peach Basil Sauce

Ratatouille

Ingredients:

1 Yellow Squash, Sliced 1/16" tin

1 Zucchini, Sliced 1/16" tin

1 Red Pepper, Seeded and Sliced 1/16" tin

6oz Tomato Sauce

1/8 t Berbere Spice

1 T Garlic, minced

1/4 t Oregano, Dried

Salt/Pepper

Olive Oil

- Preheat Oven to 375F

-In a Bowl, mix tomato sauce, garlic, and Berbere spice. Pour into a Pie Dish or oven safe ware

-Starting from edge of dish begin alternating vegetables in a spiral until you reach the middle of the dish.

-Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper

-Cover with parchment paper that is cut to fit the inside of the dish, this will prevent the vegetables from browning or burning from heated olive oil.

-Place in oven and cook for 40-55 min. Veggies will be under and sauce super bubbly.
