MEATLESS MONDAY (even though it is Saturday)

I think I may have already mentioned this but I bought this awesome cookbook a few weeks ago.

There are some delicious recipes in there,  both for meat eaters and veggie lovers just like me.

Being the only vegetarian in the family,  I really love to cook dishes 

that will get me through a few days.

And now that Perth is cooling down a little, 

this was a must do!

 

Nothing beats a bowl of delicious ratatouille with a sprinkling (maybe even a handful) of parmesan.

Super duper easy and really a dish where you can use up all sorts of veggies out of the fridge.

I cut up an eggplant, a zucchini, some cherry tomatoes, a red capsicum, and had a little bit of pumpkin there I wanted to use up, so threw that in as well.

I cubed the eggplant, threw it into a bowl, added some olive oil and coated the eggplant with the oil.

Laid the eggplant out on a baking tray, with some cracked pepper over the top  and 

roasted it for around 20 minutes.

Cut up an onion, and crushed up around 4 cloves of garlic, threw it into a deep fry pan and cooked it for a little while, until soft and fragrant.  

Threw the rest of the veggies in, cooked them for a wee while and then added a can of tomatoes.

Rinsed about a cup of quinoa, popped that into the pot with a little extra water.

Let it cook a little longer, and once the quinoa and veg was just about done,  

I added the roasted eggplant and voila.

 

Delicious ratatouille!
