Ingredients:
1kg pumpkin, sliced into 1cm rounds
1 large eggplant or 2 zucchini - Cut into 1cm rounds if using eggplant or 1cm strips for zucchini
100gm olives
1 jar (375gm) pasta sauce
1 can of lentils (rinsed well)
100gm sun dried tomatoes in oil
small bunch of fresh basil
750gm tomatoes
Method:
Roast the vegetables at 180C until nice and brown, turn once. Takes about 30 minutes. Save a couple of tomatoes for later.
Process olives, sun dried tomatoes including their oil & pasta sauce into a blender with the basil.
Process in short bursts so you don't blend it down too much. Keep it chunky!
Spread a little on the bottom of a deep square dish.
Now layer... pumpkin, sauce, zucchini, sauce, lentils, tomatoes, sauce & top it off with a few slices of tomatoes.
Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 20 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with a piece of basil.
Serve with bread or salad but to be honest - its so good & filing you can just serve it on its own.
