Ratatouille Casserole

 

The initial plan was to make stuffed ratatouille bell peppers.  But after I got all the stuffing ready, there was way too much stuffing for the bell peppers.  So I changed my plans and turned it into a casserole.  Still turned out delicious.  I would just change the extra step of air frying the bell peppers.  

 Like this:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup quinoa
  
• 4 bell peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces
  
• 1 zuchinni, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 eggplants, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• extra random veggies and herbs you have in your fridge
  
• 1 can stewed tomatoes
• 1 can tomato sauce
• dash of salt
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
  

Instructions:

1. Cook quinoa per package directions.
2. Prepare ingredients as indicated above. (cut, mince)
3. Saute vegetables, onions, garlic, tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, and thyme for 15-20 minutes.
4. Spread cooked quinoa in 8-1/2 x 11 pan.
5. Top quinoa with veggie mix.
6. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly.
7. Sprinkle nutritional evenly
8. Sprinkle dried parsley evenly.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
10. Enjoy!
