Oven Vegetables

 

It goes well with a bit of bread.
This is a side dish that goes well with fish and meat. See the large photos below.
If you add meat, you should do it separately in the pan.

Attention. Preparation time about 60-90 minutes!

Preparation

You'll need:

  • A high baking sheet
  • A small pot

Ingredients (for 2 persons)
This is one of those recipes where the principle is: Everything you like. Following is a suggestion.
In general, this applies to all recipes, of course, but especially here.

  • ½ small Bell pepper, red
  • 1 small courgette
  • 1 small aubergine
  • 1 medium red onions
  • 1 small garlic bulb
  • approx. 250 g small potatoes
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 3 large, slightly hot, pepperoni
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 spring onions (for the leaves)
  • A few thin pieces of fennel tuber (50 to 100 g)
  • about 10-15 cherry tomatoes
  • 20 Kalamata olives
  • ½ lemon (juice)
  • Lots of fresh thyme and rosemary
  • Lots of olive oil
  • Plenty of salt and pepper
  • What else could you add to it?
    Parsley, mushrooms, a second half pepper (green or yellow), turnip, ...
  • What doesn't fit:
    Ginger

First steps

Check that there is white wine in the fridge!

First of all, wash the aubergine, peel it partially (like a zebra), cut it into bite-sized pieces and put it in very salty water for 15 to 30 minutes.
Wash the small potatoes briefly and then put them in a pot with water, add salt. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes, nothing more.
Meanwhile, you can cut everything else into bite-sized, not too small pieces and simply throw them on the baking tray (leave the tomatoes whole and put them on the side with the olives, they will be needed later).
Pluck thyme and rosemary and chop into small pieces.
Garlic: Peel all cloves. Chop one half of them finely, leave the other half whole.
Half a lemon is only needed at the very end.

Prepare vegetables for the oven

Remove the aubergine pieces from the water and roughly pat dry. Cut the small potatoes into quarters. Add both to the vegetables in the baking tray.
Add the garlic (chopped and whole cloves), thyme and rosemary (finely chopped), salt and pepper everything well and pour over plenty of olive oil. Then mix everything well with your hands.


Bake in oven

Place the baking tray in a non-preheated oven (middle rack). Then turn on the oven and set it to 260℃ fan grill. Once the temperature is reached, continue to grill like this for another 20 minutes, but keep an eye on it for the last few minutes!
Then mix everything well, go down to 220℃ and grill for another 15 minutes. Follow the intermediate steps below.
If you want to make lamb cutlets to go with it (see one of the photos), you should start now at the latest.
After about 5 minutes, add the olives and tomatoes and mix again briefly.
Attention: If you want to put fish fillets on top, you should now add them as well.

Final Steps

After the last 10 minutes, remove the tray from the oven (if you're doing fish fillets with it, remove it), squeeze half a lemon over everything, mix well again and serve.
