Roasted Ratatouille With Butternut Squash Food

FALL RATATOUILLE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Make the purée: In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onion, sweet potato, potato, apple, thyme, and salt. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables begin to release their juices and soften.
• Add ½ cup (120 ml) of vegetable stock and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are completely softened. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Remove the thyme stems and discard. Add the remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) of vegetable stock and, using an immersion blender, blend until completely smooth. Season with more salt to taste.
• Spread the purée over the bottom of an 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet. Arrange the orange sweet potatoes, yellow potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, delicata squash, and apple slices in an alternating pattern on top, working from the outside in. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and season with the salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake the ratatouille for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and starting to brown.
• Drizzle the ratatouille with more olive oil to taste. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!

RATATOUILLE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven for 375˚F (190˚C).
• Slice the eggplant, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini into approximately ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1-mm) rounds, then set aside.
• Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch (30-cm) oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell peppers until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the crushed tomatoes. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat, then add the basil. Stir once more, then smooth the surface of the sauce with a spatula.
• Arrange the sliced veggies in alternating patterns, (for example, eggplant, tomato, squash, zucchini) on top of the sauce from the outer edge to the middle of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the herb seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the basil, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spoon the herb seasoning over the vegetables.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, then bake for another 20 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
• Serve while hot as a main dish or side. The ratatouille is also excellent the next day--cover with foil and reheat in a 350˚F (180˚C) oven for 15 minutes, or simply microwave to desired temperature.
• Enjoy!

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the squash in a roasting pan and toss with 2 teaspoons of the oil. Roast until just tender, tossing from time to time, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the eggplant, zucchini, squash, and tomatoes in 1 layer on a baking sheet or baking sheets, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Roast until the vegetables are soft and pliable, about 20 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle transfer them to a cutting board and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, crushed red pepper and season with salt, to taste. Saute until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and season again with salt, if needed. Cook until the peppers are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the roasted vegetables to the pan along with the vinegar, marjoram, and thyme. Toss well to coat and add 2 to 3 more tablespoons olive oil, if needed. Taste to check the seasoning and transfer to a serving platter or bowl. Voila!

ROASTED SUMMER RATATOUILLE

• Put an oven rack at the top of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the patty pan squash, eggplant, 4 sprigs of thyme, 3 sprigs of marjoram, the fennel, onion, haricot vert and crookneck squash with the olive oil until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast until tender and browned, about 15 minutes. Discard the sprigs of thyme and marjoram.
• Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the thyme and marjoram leaves, the parsley and the Garlic-Chili-Tomato Butter and mix well. Taste, and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until it is crisp and the fat is rendered.
• Once the bacon has rendered all the fat, add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. (If the pan seems dry while you are cooking the onion, add some of the olive oil.) Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and the crushed red pepper flakes stir to toast for just 15 seconds. Stir in the diced tomatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the excess liquid has almost completely cooked away.
• Put the mixture in a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Use a wooden spoon to work the butter into the tomato mixture until combined. If you are not using the butter right away, cover it and chill it until you do. Makes 3/4 cup.
