Winter ratatouille recipe

Winter ratatouille

Created by The Tesco Recipes team

Seasonal root veg is the star of the show in this hearty, veg-packed ratatouille. We've served it with gnocchi here but it goes brilliantly with rice or pasta. Try making our baked eggs with the leftover ratatouille – see below.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Divide the parsnips, swede, onions, sweet potato and garlic between 2 roasting trays. Add the oil and season, then mix well, arranging in a single layer in each tray. Bake for 40 mins until golden.
  2. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins, then gently crush and add back into the roasting trays. Divide the passata and vinegar between the 2 trays. Add half the basil, then cook for a further 10-15 mins until the veg are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Reserve 1 tray (950g) of the ratatouille for the baked eggs (see tip, below), and keep covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi to pack instructions, then drain. Mix with the remaining ratatouille, then serve topped with grated pecorino and the remaining basil leaves.
