So, I got tired of eating salad at lunch for work... Ok, I lie. I still love salad, but I wanted something warmer. I ate soup for a while, but now I have another new recipe that I've randomly put together. For want of any other name, I'm calling it a winter salad, but really, it's just roasted vegetables. I've eaten it with left over roast, with charcoal chicken, with lamb yiros meat, and with chicken tikka. It seems to go with most things. Or it could just be that I eat random stuff.
1 eggplant
2 zucchini
2 carrots
2 onions
3 sticks of celery
2x 400g tins of crushed tomatoes
Rosemary
Garlic
Olive oil
Preheat oven to 180c.
Cut the vegetables up in to fairly chunky pieces, I tend to do about 3cm pieces, obviously you can do smaller or larger as you prefer, just adjust the cooking time.
Mix the vegetables up in a casserole dish/Dutch oven. Pour the tomatoes over them, then add a dash of olive oil, the garlic and rosemary (to taste). If you've used tomatoes that don't have added salt, you'd probably want to put a little salt in there as well, or use garlic salt instead of plain garlic. Or both.
Cover and roast in oven for an hour or so, until vegetables are soft (in the cast iron Dutch oven I have it takes 1.5 hours).
You could also put in some potatoes if you like, or squash... I was just randomly throwing stuff in from my fridge (I know, it's so different for me to do that...)
