Tips & Comments
It appeared in the video that the garlic cloves were not peeled; hope I am wrong about that. When making roasted vegetable dishes, I peel and add several cloves of garlic. After roasting, I find the garlic and mash it with a fork. Then I distribute it well among the other vegetables. Could also peel the garlic after cooking by this method. Could even add some extra garlic and remove after cooking to add, mashed, to other dishes you are preparing. I love bread spread with roasted garlic and olive oil, maybe sprinkled with herbs too.
This looks like a most delicious dish. I've made something similar, and it was enjoyed by all. I think it would make a good party dish, especially for a buffet. It is excellent at room temperature, could be made early in the day and simply allowed to sit until serving time, freeing you to do other details. Also, it lends itself to various kinds of seasoning (other than oregano) which could provide variety each time you make it. Herbs are such a gift from the earth.
fantastic recepies and website.
Oh my gosh. I made this today and it was great.
For us American folks: Aubergines are eggplants, and I think courgettes are zucchini? Looks fantastically yummy, although I don't think my son would agree. I will win the veggie wars one of these days!!!
Is Aubergines something like egg plant/brinjal??
