INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (~150g)
1 medium Zucchini (~196g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (~119g)
1 medium Tomato (~123g)
1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas (~100g)
200g Extra Firm Tofu
1 large Egg
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
3 cloves Garlic
6 sprigs Fresh Basil
4 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Dice the eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, and tomato into uniform chunks. Mince the garlic.
In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables and minced garlic with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, cube the tofu and gently pan-sear it in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden.
In a small pot, poach the egg by simmering water and gently slipping in the egg for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains soft.
Once the vegetables are done, combine them with the seared tofu and gently fold in the 1/2 cup chickpeas.
Finish by garnishing the dish with fresh basil and thyme, and top with the poached egg.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed, roasted ratatouille with a protein boost.
