Originating in the French city of Nice and cooked throughout the Provence region, ratatouille is a dish made of Mediterranean vegetables such as aubergines, courgettes, peppers and onions that are stewed together. This dish takes inspiration from ratatouille for a more filling dinner that's bulked up with beans.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Trim the aubergine, then cut into roughly 2cm pieces.

Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.

2

Pop the aubergine onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the dried oregano, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

When the oven is hot, roast the aubergine on the top shelf until soft and golden, 25-30 mins.

When the aubergine is halfway through cooking, remove the tray from the oven and add the pepper to the tray. Drizzle with a little more oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat together.

Return the tray to the top shelf for the remaining time until soft and slightly charred, 14-16 mins.

3

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the butter beans in a sieve.

Pop a large saucepan on medium-high heat and add the passata, butter beans, red wine stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

Stir together and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Leave to gently simmer until slightly thickened, 5-6 mins, then cover and set aside for later.

In the meantime, halve the ciabatta.

4

When the veg has finished roasting, pop the stew back on a medium heat.

Stir the spinach into the stew a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins, along with the roasted veg and butter (see pantry for amount).

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

5

Meanwhile, halve the ciabatta.

If you're using the toaster, toast the ciabatta in your toaster until golden. 

If you're using the oven, pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Once toasted, drizzle over some oil, then cut the ciabatta halves diagonally into triangles.

6

When everything's ready, share the stew between your serving bowls.

Drizzle on the pesto and crumble over the Greek style salad cheese.

Serve the ciabatta triangles alongside for dipping.

Enjoy!
