Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Eggplants
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 1 large Red onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 100 ml Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
- 100 ml Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Wash and prepare the vegetables. Slice the zucchini, eggplants, and potatoes into 1 cm thick rounds. Slice the tomatoes and onion thinly. Mince the garlic.
In a large baking dish, layer the sliced vegetables, arranging them in alternating rows or haphazardly if you prefer a rustic look.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, crushed tomatoes, water, minced garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful sauce.
Pour the sauce evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish, making sure everything is coated.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 60 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes to allow the vegetables to caramelize slightly on top.
Check the vegetables with a fork. They should be tender and have absorbed the sauce.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish with crusty bread or as a side dish to grilled meats or fish.
