Method
- Preheat oven to 180 ˚C. Mix tomato and onion mix with oil and herbs and season with lemon juice and black pepper.
- Place veggies and half the feta in an oven dish and pour tomato mixture over. Mix to coat the veggies. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle with remaining feta. Bake for another 30-45 minutes or until veggies are cooked.
- Serve hot or at room temperature, with any meat of your choice or at a braai. Another portion of starch could also be served or fill your plate with a green salad.
Tips
- Stir veggies into 200 g cooked pasta for a quick meal for 4-6 people.
- Add 2 tins of tuna to the mixture for a light meal.
- Add a tin of lentils, beans or chickpeas to the tomato mix and stir in as above. Enjoy as a light vegetarian meal.
- These veggies are also great with eggs. Make 6-8 holes in the cooked veggies in the oven dish. Crack an egg into each hole and return to the oven, covered with foil. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until cooked to your preference. Or pour veggies into a large pan and add eggs in the same way.
