Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoon olive oil, divided
2 large bell peppers (1 yellow & 1 red), seeds removed, diced
1 medium onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb. + 4 oz. grape tomatoes (2-10oz. tubs), cut in half
1 eggplant (about 1 lb), diced
2 medium zucchini (about 1 lb), diced
2 teaspoons thyme or herbs de Provence (or a bit of both)
a few fresh basil leaves (left whole or chopped)
mineral salt + pepper, to taste
pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
3 cups cooked chickpeas or 2 cans (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed)

Steps:

  • Saute: In a heavy bottom pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat, add onions, garlic and bell peppers, saute for 3 - 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, mix well and cook 5 minutes.
  • Simmer (1): Add in eggplant, zucchini, herbs, spices, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to a low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Simmer (2): Add in chickpeas, cover askew, and simmer anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your personal preference (less time for firmer vegetables, more time for softer vegetables and more juices). Stir occasionally until ready.
  • Serve topped with chopped fresh herbs. Pair it with a gluten-free or favorite artisan loaf of bread. I have it here with a wonderful olive loaf. Try serving it on a bed of quinoa, farro, rice or pasta to make it go further.

CHICKPEA RATATOUILLE



Chickpea Ratatouille image

We made this recipe credited to Mark Bittman that was published in the April/May 2013 "Vegetarian Times" and really enjoyed it. My friend and I topped ours with parmesan. We used fresh thyme and the Roma tomatoes. The recipe indicates that the dish will keep for several days in the fridge or several months in the freezer.

CHICKPEA AND FENNEL RATATOUILLE



Chickpea and Fennel Ratatouille image

This ratatouille with chickpeas and fennel is among the best I've ever made. It's a recipe for what you might call A Vegan Day. Being a vegan is not my point, and anyway, it's as easy to create an unhealthy full-time vegan diet as it is to eat brilliantly as a part-time vegan. When fruits and vegetables are at their best, they give you insight into how the vegan thing can work for you, if only for a day. And given a moderate degree of freshness, most conventional vegetables from ordinary supermarkets can be made to taste good when gardens go dormant.
