EmailIngredients:
2 big red peppers and 2 big yellow peppers, chopped in four, without the seeds.
1 big eggplant cut in slices length-wise
2 big zucchini cut in slices length-wise
90 ml (6 table spoons) extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 big red onion, sliced thinly
75 gr (1/2 cup) raisins
15 ml tomato paste
15 ml red wine vinegar
400 ml tomato juice
15 gr gelatin powder
Fresh basil leaves for dressing
For the dressing
90 ml Fine Virgin Olive Oil D.O.P from Kalamata
30 ml red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Procedure:
Place the chopped red and yellow peppers (skins up) under a hot grill until they turn brown. Place them on a plate and cover.Place the sliced egg plant and zucchini in separate oven dishes. Cover lightly with oil; grill them, turning them regularly, until they are soft and golden.
Sautee the onions with the rest of the oil together with the raisins, tomato paste and vinegar. Cook over low heat until all liquids are absorbed.
Place a layer of red peppers in the terrain casserole and pour over enough mixture of tomato juice and gelatin in order to cover them. Continue with layers of egg plant, zucchini, onion mixture and finish with another layer of red peppers. Pour tomato juice on top of each vegetable layer.
Add the remaining tomato juice to what has remained in the pot and pour it into the casserole. Rotate the casserole well so that the juice spreads everywhere. Cover and put in the fridge until it sets.For the dressing, whisk the oil with the vinegar, add salt and pepper. Turn the casserole upside down on a plate and remove the cooking wrap. Serve cut in thick slices covered with the dressing. Dress with basil leaves.
