It's for using up excessive amounts of summer garden veg and the quantities are completely flexible.<br />Slice 4-6 courgettes or a marrow into 1cm (ish) slices & put them into a big roasting pan along with 2 peeled, deseeded & chopped cucumbers, 2 chopped onions, 2 sliced leeks, 2 chopped peppers & maybe 6 chopped fresh or one tin of tomatoes. Add salt, pepper & lots of nice herbs. Give it all a good mix & then glug over a wine glass or so of good olive oil. Then add some white wine - enough to come about 3/4 of the way up the sides of the veg. Cover tightly with foil & put in a hot oven (190C ish) for about 40 min or until the veg are tender. Remove the foil, grate over a nice layer of parmesan cheese & put back in the oven for 10 mins to brown the cheese. Done! it freezes brilliantly & works as a side dish, goes well with jacket potatoes , basmati rice or pasta. I keep it portioned in my freezer for a fast healthy dinner. You can also add pumpkin or squash to the veg mix. xxAntheanoreply@blogger.com
