Recipe Reviews

1st October 2015

friederike from Berlin,

Very easy, and okay in taste, although for grownups you should definitely add some salt and/or tomato concentrate. The quantities are a little off - I think it serves about 3 or even 4 adults and a baby (or maybe 3 adults and two kids), and I would probably use only one courgette (zucchini) instead of two next time. Also, don't keep it covered while cooking, lest you end up with way too much liquid.

As for the kiddo - he loved eating this, and it's really healthy, so I guess it's a good choice.

Edited 26 December 2015:
I'm a bit divided - on the one hand, this dish is a good choice as it's chokeful of veggies, easy to prepare, and doesn't contain anything that might be controversial - think dairy, wheat/gluten, or even meat (not that I'd have a problem with the latter). On the other: nevermind how I cut the peppers, he isn't able to eat them because they're too hard and the skin is in the way - roast them in the oven, skin them and you'll be fine. The courgettes (zucchinis) have a problem - the skin is too hard to eat, but if you skin them (or only use the bits from the middle, they'll end up being too soft so he can't eat them with his hands. Basically, if you want him to feed himself exclusively (without spoons, although I know you can use spoons in BLW), you end up with aubergines in tomato sauce. The tomatoes, on the other hand, don't need to be skinned, it's good enough to just roughly chop them.
