But when someone asks me to make something I never back down from a challenge. So today I made Sausage Ratatouille! It wasn't the layered fancy ones you find on the web, it was more of a "home cooked, just got in the door and want to make my kids a healthy meal on a budget" kind of meal. So I cut up 2 onions. 2 zucchini, 3 carrots, a pack of mushrooms, 2 green peppers, 1 eggplant and a piled it into a baking dish and on top placed 7 sausages. Put it in the oven to bake for 1 hour at 350. Then took it out, cut up all the sausage and stirred it in, poured 2 cans of no salt added diced tomatoes and put it back in the oven for an hour(stirring it twice during the remaining time). While it was cooking I cooked some rice to serve with it. Voila! A healthy and easy meal. It is full of good vegetables for the daycare kids, I was not expecting them not to like it, but much to my surprise they LOVED it! Another healthy winner:)
Cheers :) I got a fresh bread form the grocery store and cut it in half length ways, hollowed it out and filled if with goodness;) * in the oven on parchment paper I roasted, eggplant, zucchini, onions and mushrooms at 300 * while they were roasting I made a homemade aioli with mayo, garlic and basil * to assemble sandwich spread aioli on the inside of both top and bottom of the hollowed out loaf the layer roasted veggies, fresh baby spinach and meat of choice ( I used salami and prosciutto ) then you need to press it. You need a LOT of weight to press it together I as you see wrapped the sammies in foil, covered them with another cookie sheet and put a sewing machine on top...You may need to get inventive, but it is sooooo worth it. Press for at least 2 hours slice and serve! Lunch is ready. Served with a homemade Greek pasta salad and an assortment of fresh fruit for dessert.
