Summer Vegetable Ratatouille
Recipe by Silvia Baldini
Ingredients
  • 3medium ripe plum tomatoes
  • 1medium shallot, peeled and chopped
  • 1small peeled and roughly chopped carrot
  • 1small peeled garlic clove
  • 4tablespoons virgin olive oil
  • 4tablespoons 3 tsp fresh thyme, basil, parsley finely chopped
  • 3medium zucchini
  • 3medium yellow squash
  • fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a food processor add the chopped tomatoes, shallot, carrot and the garlic. Chop all the vegetable but stop before they become a puree’, leaving a rough texture.
  3. Pour the chopped vegetables, 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and half of the chopped fresh herbs into a medium baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Using a mandolin, or a really sharp knife, thinly and evenly, slice the vegetables. Make the slices thin, about 1/8’ (3mm) thick.
  5. Make mini-stacks of about 20 slices in sequence. Arrange a few stacks at a time into the prepared baking dish in a concentric spiral from the outer edge to the inside, fanning them out a bit so that you can see the top 1/8” of all the slices. “Stand” them up a little, so you can it as many vegetable slices in as possible, but you may still have some leftover veggies. Save the smaller rounds for the center of the dish.
  6. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with more salt and pepper. Sprinkle the remaining chopped herbs. Cover the dish with a piece of parchment paper cut to it just inside the dish rim, directly on top of the vegetable arrangement.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes -1 hour
