Ratastewie

Sorry for the lateness of todays post, as you may (or may not) have notice we moved! As I learn to work my way around WordPress the look around here will probably change to. I’ve also been busy photographing and testing some new recipes so that i’m ready for the next few weeks as I am actually moving too.

This is usually our go to meal when we need to top up our veggie intake.
It started as an easy ratatouille recipe and somewhere along the line merged with my stew recipe. Its fantastic served with couscous or even just toast be we like to have it with polenta and sausages. This recipe serves 8-10 as I like to have left overs for lunches or easy dinner during the week. It can be done over the stove or in the crockpot.

1 Eggplant

2 Capsicums

2 Zucchinis

4-5 Tomatos

1 tin Diced Tomatos

1 cup White wine

2 tbs herbs or spices of your choice (I sometimes use an Italian herb mix or when I want to spice it up I use Cajun Spice mix)

Dice the vegetables and place in a large pot.

You can now serve up your Ratastewie or turn down the heat and leave until its to your liking/you’re ready.

I like to serve my Ratastewie with Polenta and sausages. Its also good with fruit & nut loaded couscous or just with crusty bread.
