Method
- Put the swede, onions, peppers, courgettes, garlic, rosemary, vinegar and tinned tomatoes in a slow-cooker; stir well to combine. Cover and cook for 4-5 hrs on high or 7-8 hrs on low, stirring every 1 hr if possible. Remove the lid and stir through the kale for the final 30 mins. The ratatouille is ready when a fork passes easily through the swede, but the vegetables are still holding their shape.
- Season to taste, then set 700g ratatouille aside for the tart (right), straining off any excess liquid. Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- About 30 mins before ready to serve, cook the rice to pack instructions. Divide among bowls, top with the ratatouille, then scatter with the cheese and parsley, and drizzle with olive oil, if you like.
Tip: Use the leftover veg for this Autumn vegetable tart.
