Greek Meatballs with Roasted Veggie Marinara
Good afternoon all!
How is you Saturday afternoon? I'm knackered. Nothing new there but I'm very happy that my roasted veggie marinara was a huge success. For those of you who are looking for something new to make with your eggplant, tomatoes and peppers try my recipe. It's very simple and very yummy. You can use it plain with pasta or with meatballs like I did last night.
Roasted Veggie Marinara
3 finger eggplants; quartered
4 - 5 roma tomatoes; halved
4 - 5 sweet green peppers; whole
1 large onion; quartered ( I had about 2 cups of pearl onions from the garden. They were a combo of red onions and white onions)
1 garlic clove; peeled
olive oil
oregano
mint
salt
pepper
1. Roast in an oven for 45 minutes covered at 450F.
2. Uncover and continue the roasting process for 15 minutes to give a slight crispiness to the veggies. This caramelizes the veggies a little which adds tons of flavour.
3. In a medium sauce pan add roasted veggies and 2 cups of tomato juice. Mash up and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Try it! You will love it.
