Layered Ratatouille Recipe: Crockpot Cooking
Ingredients
- 2 onions, peeled and sliced in 1/2 inch rings
- 1 eggplant, washed and sliced in 1/2 inch rings
- 4 zucchini, washed and sliced in 1/2 inch rings
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green bell peppers, cut in 1/2 inch strips
- 6 large ripe tomatoes, cut in 1/2 inch thick wedges
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Get out your crockpot.
- Put half the vegetables in the crockpot in the order listed: onion, eggplant, zucchini, garlic, green bell peppers, and tomatoes.
- Repeat the same layers.
- Evenly sprinkle the basil, salt, pepper, and parsley over the top, then drizzle the olive oil evenly over all.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or until all vegetables are very tender.
You have several options for serving the Ratatouille:
**Spoon it directly out of the crockpot, hot, as a side dish, being careful to maintain the layers to show off how pretty they are.
**Remove to a large bowl and chop it up into a coarse texture and serve as a side or a spread.
**It can be served as a vegetarian main dish or as a topping for a roasted vegetable primavera style pasta dish.
**These great tasting vegetables can be served hot or cold and even used to make vegetarian pizza. In the case of the vegetarian pizza, I would use a nice pesto as the sauce rather than the standard red tomato sauce.
