Mouse-a-touille

We had a mini dinner party the other night where Britney requested that I attempt ratatouille. Ratatouille was attempted, we deemed it a success and I re-named it Mouse-a-touille because…well…I guess I was just feeling a bit silly.

Ingredients:

4 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp organic butter
vegetable broth
1 eggplant, chopped
half cup fresh basil, chopped
1 white onion, peeled and chopped
2 zucchinis or yellow squash, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 pound fresh tomatoes, cored and chopped
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 to 1 cup raw pecorino romano (sheep cheese), shredded

Preheat oven to 350. Warm 1 Tbsp. of butter and a splash of broth in a large pan and saute garlic, basil, and eggplant until eggplant is soft. Combine with remaining vegetables and pour into a baking dish. Melt and drizzle another Tbsp. of butter and a little more broth on top of the veggies and bake for an hour. Turn oven off and remove dish. Add shredded cheese and place in the oven for just a minute or two more to melt.

Raw Kale Pecorino Pesto

Yesterday I intended to post in “What I Ate Wednesday” style…and then I realized my commute was catching up to me and that I left my camera cord in Seattle by mistake! So I dug into my “Emergency Backup Recipe Stash” and pulled out this deliciousness to share:


Ingredients:

1 bunch fresh kale
3 oz raw pecorino romano (sheep cheese!)
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp olive oil
1 tsp oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Remove kale leaves from stems and discard stems (or save them for your juicer). Shred cheese. Place all ingredients in food processor and blend to your desired pesto consistency.

I ate mine on lettuce wraps with red bell pepper slices!
