Rustic Ratatouille

This rustic ratatouille is a vibrant, oven-roasted version of the classic Mediterranean stew. By roasting the aubergine, courgette and red peppers at a high temperature, the vegetables caramelise beautifully, intensifying their natural sweetness. The addition of fresh rosemary, thyme and basil provides an aromatic depth that brings the flavours of the South of France directly to your kitchen.

As a hearty vegan main course, this dish is bolstered by protein-rich chickpeas and juicy plum tomatoes, making it both filling and nutritious. It is an excellent choice for a healthy midweek meal or a batch-cook option for the week ahead. Serve it in deep bowls with a slice of crusty sourdough bread to soak up the savoury juices and a final splash of balsamic vinegar for brightness.
