Mediterranean Veggies Stew

Go! Go! Go!

An easy, healthy and super delicious recipe!!

Let’s make my Mediterranean veggies stew!

Also called “fritta”, it’s a kind of Spanish ratatouille, based on red pepper and tomato. Then it’s up to you to add whatever you feel like: onions, zucchini,… I love it!!

I have to say that I’m not a huge fan of eggplants, so the traditional French ratatouille is not often on my table.

This Mediterranean veggies stew is a great compromise. It will be perfect as a side dish for grilled meat or fish, with pasta or rice, or in my vegetarian lasagna.

You can enjoy it warm or cold (as an appetizer in small jars for instance), or even add it to my savory cakes preparation and make a savory Mediterranean veggies cake!! This recipe is fantastic!! It’s multifunction!!

For the ingredients, you can make your own tomato sauce or buy one in your usual supermarket.

You will notice while reading the recipe that I grill the red peppers in the oven first. I do so for 3 reasons:

1/ You don’t get the red pepper skin pieces in your fritta, I don’t like the feeling of it.

2/ Your red peppers will be deliciously candied.

3/ I think that the red peppers are much easier to digest without the skin.

My two other recommendations: go for a slow cooking and make a large quantity of stew!! This fritta can be easily re-heated and will be a saver when you will have to make a good and quick meal!

The utensils:

An oven dish to grill the red peppers

And a casserole with a thick bottom, such as my Staub, for the stew part.

You know everything.

The recipe, Chef!
