Ratatouille In Acorn Squash Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the squash and potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking pan and roast, stirring once or twice, until tender and golden brown in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, rosemary and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and roasted vegetables and simmer until slightly thickened and the flavors have blended, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.

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!

Steps:

• Heat the oil over high heat in a large pot and saute the garlic, onion and all the peppers until they are soft, about 15 minutes. Add the zucchini, eggplant and tomatoes, and stir well.
• Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for an hour and a half. Add the capers, salt and pepper during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Keep hot.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Halve the acorn squash, remove the seeds and place them, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Add one inch of boiling water. Bake for 45 minutes.
• To serve, spoon some of the ratatouille into the cavity of each half.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F
• Place all the ingredients, except 3 garlic cloves and cheese slices, in a large, deep roasting tin.
• Roast in the oven for about 40 minutes or until the vegetables are beginning to soften and turn golden brown. Stir occasionally as they cook.
• While the vegetables are cooking, place 3 garlic cloves and cheese slices in a food processor or blender and pulse into rough breadcrumbs.
• When the vegetables are ready, remove from the oven and season with freshly ground black pepper.
• Sprinkle the crumbs over the ratatouille and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes or until the crumbs are golden and crispy.
