Roasted Ratatouille And Eggs Food

ROASTED RATATOUILLE AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees, with a large ovenproof skillet on center rack. Cut eggplants in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces (you should have 3 cups). Mince 3 garlic cloves. Remove skillet from oven; carefully add eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, thyme sprigs, minced garlic, capers, and oil (it will spatter). Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Roast, stirring twice, until eggplants are soft and tomatoes have burst and are beginning to char, about 15 minutes.
• Make 4 wells in mixture; crack 1 egg into each. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Roast, rotating halfway through, until whites are set but yolks are still soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 3 minutes. Rub toast with remaining garlic clove; drizzle with oil. Serve eggs and ratatouille over toast, sprinkled with thyme.

RATATOUILLE AND BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 3/4 cup ratatouille in each of four 2-cup ovenproof baking dishes set on a rimmed baking sheet. With the back of a large spoon, make 2 indentations in ratatouille in each dish. (Alternatively, place 3 cups ratatouille in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and make 8 indentations.) Crack 1 large egg into each indentation. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are set, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with toast if desired.

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Season the zucchini, squash, bell pepper and onion with the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Grill until grill marks appear and the vegetables are slightly tender but still a little al dente, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces.

RATATOUILLE WITH POACHED EGGS AND GARLIC CROUTONS

In a medium bowl add the bread, 1 teaspoon dried herbes or thyme, about 1/3 palmful and the cheese. Drizzle the garlic butter over the bread mixture and arrange the croutons on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until golden and evenly brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Croutons may be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days in a cool place.
• Salt the eggplant and drain it in a colander for30 minutes to remove the bitterness from the eggplant.
• Meanwhile, blacken the skins of the red peppers over open flame on the stove or under a hot boiler. If broiling, leave the oven ajar to allow the steam to escape. Put the blackened peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool. Peel, seed and dice the peppers.
• While peppers cool, heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat with extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add the eggplant, zucchini, remaining sliced garlic, onions, rosemary and remaining 1 teaspoon of herbes or dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then cover the pot and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Crush the tomatoes by hand and add them to the pot. Stir in the red peppers and 1/2 tomato-can of water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes to concentrate the flavors. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
• To serve, bring the ratatouille back to a simmer over medium heat, covered, then uncover and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Make 4 nests or wells in the ratatouille and crack an egg into each nest. Cover the pot and cook the eggs to desired doneness, about 2 to 5 minutes. Scoop the ratatouille and eggs into shallow bowls and top with croutons and torn basil.

ROASTED RATATOUILLE & GOAT'S CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the aubergine, courgette, pepper and onion together with the garlic, olive oil and some seasoning. Tip onto a large baking tray (you may need to use 2 trays) and roast for 20 mins. Toss through the tomatoes and roast for a further 15-20 mins or until the vegetables are tender and beginning to caramelise.
• Meanwhile, roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Chill for 30 mins.
• While the vegetables cool, reduce oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Prick the base of the tart case with a fork, line with baking parchment and fill with baking beans. Pop on a baking tray and bake for 15 mins, then remove the beans and parchment. Bake for 10-15 mins more until the pastry is lightly golden.
• Reduce oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Squeeze the garlic from their skins into a jug and mash with a little salt to form a paste. Slowly whisk in the cream, followed by the eggs and some seasoning. Toss the basil through the cooled vegetables, then tip two-thirds into the pastry case, spreading out to an even layer. Crumble over three-quarters of the goat's cheese, then pour over the cream mix. Top with the remaining veg and cheese. Bake for 40-50 mins until the tart is just set, with a slight wobble in the centre. Serve warm for lunch or cold on a picnic, scattered with extra basil leaves, and some toasted pine nuts, if you like.
