Veggie Ratatouille Overview
This Veggie Ratatouille is a quick-to-make and a very light dish, loaded with your favorite vegetables. Indeed, it is like a warm salad that is great to serve at colder times, and whenever you feel like a hot meal.
Theoretically, ratatouille is a dish that has tomatoes, zucchini, and eggplant. With that, it may not be legitimate to call this veggie stew a ratatouille, but a ragout. Nonetheless, what matters is that this is a light and delicious veggie stew.
To prepare such a meal, you can take any vegetables of choice. In this particular recipe, I used squash, celery stalks, and tomatoes. Additionally, I would imagine mushrooms, bell peppers, and potatoes, making a great combo in this meal. Baked beans in tomato sauce help elevate protein content and add extra texture and flavor. Alternatively, consider adding pre-cooked lentils (red or green) for more protein and iron.
Further, smoked paprika and nutritional yeast greatly enhance the taste of any meal. The latter also contributes to B12 and protein amount. Finally, you may add a garnish next to vegetable ratatouille for a more filling option.
Certainly, Vegetable Ratatouille is best served while still hot. In case of any leftovers, keep refridgerated for up to 4 days. Bon appetit!
How to Serve Veggie Ratatouille
Enjoy Veggie Ratatouille while still hot, on its own or with a wholesome garnish, like grains: bulgur, quinoa, brown or wild rice, buckwheat, etc. Optionally, top it up with nutritional yeast and chives.
