Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Fill and boil your kettle.
Trim the aubergine, then chop into small pieces. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Pop the aubergine and pepper onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle over half the Italian style herbs.
Use your hands to coat the veg in the herbs, then spread out in a single layer.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal saucepan and transfer to an ovenproof dish later.
Once hot, add the onion and fry until soft, 4-5 mins. Stir in the sun-dried tomato paste, garlic and remaining Italian style herbs.
Cook for 1 min, then stir in the risotto rice and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.
Add the boiled water for the risotto (see pantry for amount) and veg stock paste to the pan. Stir to combine.
Bring back up to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil) and bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 20-25 mins.
When the risotto is cooked, remove it from the oven and mix in the butter and hard Italian style cheese.
Stir through the roasted aubergine and pepper.
Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed, adding a splash of water if it's a little dry.
Share the ratatouille risotto between your bowls and serve with a handful of rocket on top.
Enjoy!
