Ingredients

1 cup green/snap beans 100 g
2 tbsp Garlic-Infused Oil 30 mL
2 zucchini, cut into 1,5 cm cubes 260 g
1 aubergines / eggplants, small size, cut into 1,5 cm cubes 180 g
1 yellow or red sweet peppers, cut into 1,5 cm squares 200 g
1 carrots, cut into 1,5 cm cubes 100 g
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
300 g firm regular tofu, diced 1 1/2 cup
1 1/4 cup canned tomatoes (diced) 320 g
1 tsp dried oregano 1 g
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper [optional] 0.4 g

Method

  1. Boil or steam the green beans. Drain, cut them into 2 cm pieces, and set aside.
  2. Heat the garlic-infused oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Prepare the remaining vegetables: Dice them into 1,5 cm pieces then add them to the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté 8-10 min, with some stirring.
  3. Add the tofu cubes, tomatoes, oregano and Cayenne pepper (optional). Cover and cook over low heat about 10 min, until all vegetables are soft but still a bit al dente. Add the cooked green beans and cook an additional 2-3 min. Adjust the seasoning and serve.

Observations

This dish may be prepared in advance and reheated. It is not advisable to freeze it because tofu changes texture when thawed after being frozen.

Serve the ratatouille with plain rice or quinoa.
